你在做什麼?我在拯救地球

一個小男孩體現了地球日的善行本質

加入我們的科學愛好者社群!

昨天是地球日,我們邀請了所有人向我們傳送照片和影片,展示他們如何慶祝第45屆年度活動,或為改善我們的棲息地貢獻力量。我們聽說了各種有趣的活動,但一個小男孩可能最能體現這一天的精神和實踐性。看看下面的36秒影片。影片中,“哈立德”被問及他在做什麼,他正用棍子戳著紐約州羅切斯特湖邊的一個塑膠袋。當他專注於他的任務時,他說:“我在拯救地球!”

當然,許多機構都舉辦活動來紀念地球日。其中一個活動如下,是佛蒙特州林登州立學院在所謂的東北王國(該州最右上角)。

在半個地球之外,孟加拉國的巴圖阿卡利科學技術大學災害管理學院也做了同樣的事情。

清理似乎是許多地方的主要主題,一些組織利用上週末進行了更大的專案。例如,自然保護協會接待了志願者,他們從紐約市東部的牙買加灣野生動物保護區清理垃圾。該地區是鳥類重要的遷徙停留地。它也是一道至關重要的天然屏障,可以吸收來自大西洋的風暴潮;事實上,海灣幫助保護了該市東南部側翼免受颶風桑迪的襲擊。

有關氣候、生態和能源的更多資訊,請參閱《大眾科學》昨天地球日期間釋出的幾篇文章。其中包括一組四個圖表,描繪了地球不斷變化的氣候狀況,一篇有趣的環境科學家名單,他們正在從事引人入勝的研究,以及由我們自己的大衛·比耶洛主持的一部紀錄片的首映,該紀錄片探討了美國是否可以完全依靠電力執行。
