PBS高端访谈:宅家对抗气候变化的3个简单操作

（单词翻译）

Just because you're stuck in the house during the pandemic doesn't mean you can't fight climate change. Here are a few simple things you can do at home.

This Spring start by planting native species in your garden. This helps to support local biodiversity and livens up a living space. Check out the National Wildlife Federation's native plant finder to see what species are local to your area.

Try out new recipes that don't use beef. A pound of beef produces 20 times more greenhouse emissions¹ than a pound of plant protein like beans or lentils and significantly more than other proteins like poultry² and fish.

When you're online shopping choose a more eco-friendly shipping³ option instead of same day or two-day delivery. Freight trucks are responsible for almost a quarter of the transportation industry's carbon footprint. When you choose the slower option, companies have more time to plan and consolidate⁴ packages into delivery trucks. This means that trucks can carry more items at a time and make fewer trips back to pickup⁵ packages leading to fewer miles on the road and less greenhouse gas emissions.

We need the help of individuals, companies, organizations and governments to fight climate change on multiple levels. But you can still make a difference in your everyday life. What positive thing will you do today to help the planet?

新冠疫情期间，你被困在家里，但这并不意味着你不能对抗气候变化。这里有一些你可以在家做的简单事情。

今年春天，从在你的花园里种植本地物种开始。这有助于支持当地的生物多样性，而且给生活空间带来了生机。看看美国国家野生动物联合会的本地植物发现者，看看哪些是你所在地区的本地植物。

尝试不使用牛肉的新食谱。一磅牛肉产生的温室气体排放量是一磅植物蛋白（如豆类或小扁豆）的20倍，明显高于其他蛋白质（如家禽和鱼类）。

当你在网上购物时，要选择更环保的送货方式，而不是当天或两天内送货。货运卡车造成了运输业近四分之一的碳足迹。当您选择较慢配送的选项时，公司有更多的时间来计划并将包裹整合到送货卡车中。这意味着卡车可以一次运送更多的物品，减少返回装包裹的次数，从而减少行驶里程和温室气体排放。

我们需要个人、公司、组织和政府的帮助，在多个层面上应对气候变化。但你仍然可以通过改变你的日常生活来做出贡献。你今天会做什么积极的事情来帮助地球？
