THE ROAD TO DESTRUCTION
Daily traffic jams leave commuters stuck for hours, feeling stressed out and annoyed. Roadworks and accidents fuel public anger, while vehicles emit greenhouse gases that cause destruction. Over the past decade, traffic pollution has been related to rising lung cancer cases.
To combat this, adopt regular habits: walk short distances instead of driving. Solutions must suit individual needs—carpooling reduces emissions, while cycling promotes health. As the article admits, breaking car addiction is hard, but collective action can steer us away from this destructive path.

毁灭之路
日常的交通拥堵让通勤者困在路上数小时，倍感压力与烦躁。道路施工和交通事故更是激起公众的不满，而车辆排放的温室气体正带来毁灭性影响。过去十年间，交通污染已被证实与肺癌病例的增加相关。
要应对这一问题，需养成日常习惯：短途出行选择步行而非开车。解决方案需贴合个人需求 —— 拼车可减少排放，骑行则有益健康。正如文章所承认的，戒掉 “汽车依赖” 并非易事，但集体行动能引导我们远离这条毁灭之路。

Rethinking Plastic Packaging
Kevin set out to investigate supermarket packaging after seeing coconuts wrapped in plastic packets. He argued this was wasteful since coconuts have a natural shell. Plastic wrap traps dirt during transportation, and animals often swallow fragments, causing harm.
Alicia agreed but offered realistic solutions: use reusable cartons and refillable containers. She suggested innovative approaches like bamboo chopsticks instead of plastic cutlery. Consumers should become more aware - sorting waste into recycling bins and supporting council collection programs. While change makes some anxious, small steps collectively reduce plastic pollution significantly.

反思塑料包装
凯文看到椰子被装在塑料袋里售卖后，决心调查超市的包装问题。他认为这种做法十分浪费，因为椰子本身就有天然的外壳。塑料膜在运输过程中会积灰，动物还常常误食塑料碎片，深受其害。
艾丽西亚对此表示认同，同时提出了切实可行的解决方案：使用可重复利用的纸箱和可 refill 的容器。她建议采用创新方式，比如用竹筷替代塑料餐具。消费者也应提高意识 —— 将垃圾分类投入回收箱，支持市政的回收计划。尽管改变会让一些人感到不安，但点滴行动汇聚起来，就能大幅减少塑料污染。

Guardians of Earth
Conservation is urgent as human activities destroy nature. Mining and plastic waste are major threats; unrecyclable items choke oceans. We must switch to sustainable habits: recycle materials, reduce consumption, and do our part daily.
Dr. Bradshaw's informative research reveals a crisis: Rhinos are illegally hunted for their horns, driving them incredibly close to extinct. This demands urgent action. Everyone can have a role—report poaching or support wildlife reserves. As Aldo Leopold said, true conservation achieves harmony between humans and land.

地球的守护者
人类活动正在破坏自然，环境保护已刻不容缓。采矿和塑料垃圾是主要威胁，不可回收的物品正让海洋窒息。我们必须转向可持续的生活习惯：回收材料、减少消费，在日常生活中尽自己的一份力。
布拉德肖博士的研究揭示了一个严峻的危机：犀牛因犀牛角遭非法猎杀，已濒临灭绝。这需要我们立即采取行动。每个人都能贡献力量 —— 举报偷猎行为，或支持野生动物保护区。正如奥尔多 利奥波德所说，真正的环境保护，是实现人类与土地的和谐共生。

The Looming Sixth Extinction
Mass extinctions, though unusual in frequency, have occurred five times in Earth's history. The "Great Dying" event wiped out 90%-96% of all species, caused by varied factors like volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, and oxygen decrease. Today, scientists warn humans are to blame for the sixth extinction, as human activities affect ecosystems 1,000 times faster than natural rates.
Pollution and habitat destruction place countless species at risk; over 75% could die out. Endangered animals like the Black Robin nearly vanished until conservationists intervened: they helped eggs hatch and restored habitats by removing predators. To avoid catastrophe, we must shift to solar energy and protect biodiversity immediately.

第六次大灭绝
大规模灭绝虽不常发生，却在地球历史上出现过五次。“大死亡” 事件导致 90%-96% 的物种灭绝，其成因多样，包括火山喷发、小行星撞击及氧气减少等。如今，科学家警告称，人类正是第六次灭绝的罪魁祸首 —— 人类活动对生态系统的影响速度，比自然速率快了 1000 倍。
污染与栖息地破坏使无数物种陷入危机，超过 75% 的物种可能灭绝。像黑知更鸟这样的濒危动物曾几近消失，直到环保人士介入：他们帮助鸟蛋孵化，通过清除捕食者来恢复栖息地。要避免这场灾难，我们必须立即转向太阳能，并保护生物多样性。

Conservation Efforts
The rapid growth of human activities poses severe threats to our planet. According to environmental studies, overpopulation has led to massive habitat destruction. For instance, expanding cities and agricultural zones have replaced forests, pushing species like the Yangtze Dolphin toward extinction. Moreover, illegal hunting and pollution further decrease animal populations.
On the other hand, opponents of conservation argue that economic development is vital. Factory farming, involved in producing cheap meat and poultry, supports food demands for billions. However, this practice is cruel and causes chemical pollution, as noted by the UK Farming Today institute. In addition to this, climate change worsens natural disasters. Thunderstorms, floods, and typhoons now occur more frequently, with the Atlantic hurricanes growing 40% stronger in three decades.
To sum up, balancing human needs and nature is urgent. Protecting scenic heritage sites like Juzhaigou Valley—home to ancient forests and endangered species—is crucial. Apart from policy changes, individuals can share resources, keep ecosystems clean, and support innovation like biodegradable packaging. Only then can we ensure Earth’s survival.

环保行动
人类活动的快速扩张对地球构成了严重威胁。环境研究表明，人口过剩已造成大规模的栖息地破坏。例如，城市与农业区的不断扩张取代了森林，将长江江豚等物种推向灭绝边缘。此外，非法捕猎与污染进一步导致动物数量锐减。
另一方面，反对环保的人认为经济发展才是重中之重。工厂化养殖为数十亿人提供了廉价的肉类和家禽，满足了粮食需求。但正如英国《今日农业》研究所指出的，这种养殖方式不仅残忍，还会造成化学污染。除此之外，气候变化加剧了自然灾害的发生 —— 雷暴、洪水和台风愈发频繁，三十年间大西洋飓风的强度增强了 40%。
总而言之，平衡人类需求与自然生态已刻不容缓。保护像九寨沟这样的自然遗产至关重要，那里不仅有古老森林，还是多种濒危物种的家园。除了政策调整，个人也能贡献力量：共享资源、保持生态系统清洁、支持可生物降解包装等创新举措。唯有如此，我们才能确保地球的存续。
