The young green consumer guide
This book says that our world is in danger.It is vital that we do something to save the earth.First of all,what are the threats to our environment?
The greenhouse effect
The writers ask us to "imagine the earth inside a kind of greenhouse with the atmosphere around it acting like the glass,letting sunlight in while keeping much of the warmth from getting out.The atmosphere is essential to all living things.Without it,the earth would be as cold and lifeless as the surface of the moon."
"The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing because we are polluting it with chemicals-in the form of gases-and it is keeping in too much heat!
These gases,mainly carbon dioxide(CO2),are produced by burning fuels such as petrol.The Greenhouse Effect may cause the level of the sea to rise and drown cities and even whole countries.
Damage to the ozone layer
The writers tell us that "ozone is a gas which occurs 20-50km above the ground.It forms an essential protective layer around the earth.Without it,the sun would burn us up."
We are making holes in the ozone layer mainly by using chemicals called CFCs.We use these in fridges and spray cans,and to make plastic items such as fast food boxes.
Destruction of the rain forests
The burning and cutting down of trees is making the Greenhouse Effect worse because trees take in CO2.It also causes erosion of the soil and flooding,as well as destroying the people and animals who make the frests their home.
Bad habits
Many of our habits cause pollution,especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them away.This creates massive mountains of rubbish.We do not know what to do with the rubbish and it pollutes our land and sea.For example,seven billion drink cans are thrown away in Britain each year.That is enough to reach from the earth to the moon.
How can we save the earth?
The book's idea is that we should become green consumers.That is,we should only buy and use things that do not damage the environment.And we should buy only from compaines that do not damage the environment either.

年轻绿色消费者指南
本书描述的是地球正处在危险之中,我们必须为拯救它做点什么.首先,地球面临的威胁到底有哪些?
温室效应
作者问我们一个问题“想象一下地球正处在一个被大气层包围的温室中,大气层就像一层玻璃,让阳光照射进来同时保存住温度,不让它散发.大气层对所有生物都是不可或缺的,没有它,地球将变得死寂和寒冷,就像月球表面一样”
“问题是大气层现在已经发生了变化,因为人类不断用气态的化学物质污染了它,而且这会导致越来越热.”
这些气体,主要是二氧化碳,产生于化石燃料的燃烧.温室效应会导致海平面上升从而吞噬一些城市甚至整个国家.
破坏臭氧层
作者告诉我们“臭氧是一种气体,他存在于大地上方20~50公里,它是地球的一层特别保护层,没有它,我们将被直射的阳光灼伤.”
臭氧层空洞是被一种叫做氟利昂的化学物质造成的.我们在电冰箱,喷雾罐中使用氟利昂做为制冷剂,同时在只做塑料制品如快餐盒中也使用它.
破坏热带雨林
砍伐森林,焚烧树木是的温室效应越来越严重.因为树木能吸收二氧化碳.同时也导致了水土流失和洪水泛滥,很多人和动物被迫流离失所,离开家园.
不良习惯
人们很多不良习惯导致了污染,特别是我们使用和随意丢弃一次性物品,这制造了很多垃圾.我们无法降解他们,只能人有他们污染土地和海洋.例如,全英国每年丢弃70亿个饮料罐,这足够连接地球到月球.
我们怎样能拯救地球?
书中的观点是我们应该做绿色消费者.这就是说,我们只购买和使用不对环境造成污染的东西,我们只用那些不对环境造成污染的公司的产品.
