| | 春天的气息已经来到。这里周围可以看见好多粉色的樱花树，好美。今年本来想到华盛顿去看樱花，无奈没去成。前两个星期和一班朋友到Bronx的植物园去，看见好几棵漂亮的樱花树。一阵风吹来，我们沐浴在樱花瓣下，很是浪漫。今天本来想到Brooklyn 的Sakura Matsuri去，可是错听信了气象预台说今天会下雨，结果没去。希望明天天气依然好。
今天在找慈济的讯息看见了这个：
Lifestyle Changes Can Curb Climate Change - UN IPCC Report
“Please eat less meat - meat is a very carbon intensive commodity. Cycling or walking instead of jumping in a car to go 500 meters. Purchase only what you really need instead of buying something just because it’s there.” - Dr. Pachauri, Chairman of Nobel Peace Prize-Winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
Tzu Chi Foundation has devoted to its mission in environmental protection for over 20 years. Based on our experiences, combined with UN IPCC’s latest advocacy, we ask you to join us in the “3 Green Acts.”
Act 1: Mindful Eating
1. Try vegetarianism: our diet contributes to global warming more than our cars
2. Buy low carbon food: buy seasonal/local, not air-freighted, less packaged food
3. Reduce food waste: proper portion size, donate food, composting
Act 2: Eco-Friendly Living
1. Bike or take public transit: walk short distance, bike to work, carpool more
2. Conserve water and electricity: pollute less, use energy-efficient appliances
3. Reduce paper consumption: print double-sided, use scrap paper for notes
Act 3: Frugal Living
1. Buy only what you need: shop smart, frugal fashion is chic
2. Extend life cycle of a product: donate to and buy from thrift store
3. Stop using disposable products: use reusable utensil, bring your own bags

我加入了这Pledge, 打算在五月份吃素，每天睡觉前把电视和电脑的插座拔掉，节省能源。没有必要时不打印。减少用disposable products。中午吃饭时把水杯带去，以便不再用纸杯。不用塑料的刀叉。不拿过多的纸巾。
你是否可以稍微改变一些小小的生活习惯，从而减少地球的垃圾呢？请加入吧！你甚至只需要发愿做一天的环保工作，就能让世界更美好！ |
