It was Mila, a whale in the pool. She noticed Susan’s 12 , held her leg in her mouth and pushed Susan up to the surface. Susan was 13 , thanks to Mila’s quick action.

It’s been more than 60 years since Jane Goodall started her pioneering work. In 1960, at just 26 years, old, the British woman was chosen to go to East Africa and study the little-known world of chimpanzees (黑猩猩). Since then, Dr. Goodall has achieved many awards and honorary degrees as a world-famous conservationist (自然环境保护主义者). Now, the90-year-old has received an unusual honor—she is becoming a Barbie doll.
Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls, has created this new doll. It came out just before World Chimpanzee Day in time for the 62nd anniversary (周年纪念日) of Dr. Goodall’s first visit into Tanzania’s Gombe National Park where she began her groundbreaking research on wild chimpanzees.
Dressed in a khaki shirt and shorts and holding a notebook with a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) around her neck, the doll is styled to match Dr. Goodall’s look. It also comes with a miniature replica (仿制品) of David Greybeard, the first chimpanzee she worked with.
But what really makes the Jane Goodall Barbie special is that it is the brand’s first signature doll to be made of recycled ocean plastic. And the toy is boxed in recyclable packaging as well.
“The main message is that every day you live, you make an impact on the planet and you get to choose what kind of impact you make.” says Dr. Goodall about the Barbie doll, “Hopefully, the doll will help to create more interest in the natural world. It doesn’t really matter if people have a career (职业) in conservation, as long as they pay attention to conservation in their daily lives.”

Do you know that over 1/3 of all food produced in the world goes to waste According to the United Nations (UN), every year around the world, about one billion tons of food is wasted. At the same time, there are about one billion people who go hungry. Simply 1/4 of the food wasted is enough to keep them out of hunger. In addition, the wasted food produces over three billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), which speeds up climate (气候) change. What can we do to solve this food waste problem
One effective (有效的) solution is balancing food production with demand (需求). In hotels and other similar places, special instruments should be used so that cooks just prepare and cook food as it is ordered.
Another effective solution is starting programs to reduce food waste. Stores and buyers can try their best to be creative in food waste reduction. For example, stores can show customers instructions telling them how to make full use of food. Buyers can try not fixing their eyes only on food of the best quality. Sometimes, the food of non-top quality is also good enough to eat, or can be bought and then used to make delicious dishes.
One of the hardest solutions to achieve is for each and every one to buy and prepare food with a plan of their own so that less food is wasted. Challenging as it is, the use of meal plans in preparing food can play an important role in ending food waste in the family.
Food recycling is one of the known solutions. Efforts are now already in progress. Food that is not safe for humans to eat is recycled into other products such as animal food and clothing. Yet, there is still a long way to go and much for improvement in this area.
In a word, food waste has been one of the biggest problems in the world that have influenced us greatly. Many solutions have been found and many more are yet to be worked out. If each of us can put in more efforts, food waste is sure to be reduced for the good of our future.
