不可思議的真人真事:
- MW以前“去到邊,開燈開到邊”,現在自動自覺地一離開就關燈
- 星媽不湊女跟我去聽Robert Swan和極地保護
- 80歲長輩把吃不完的食物都放進一個盒子(instead of 1 box for each dish)帶回家。當然最好就是避免眼闊肚窄,不過這個程度已不錯
- 眾親友一知道我公司收集洗頭水等衛生用品作慈善用途便巴巴把自己家裏、同事家裏的都拿給我
- T說夏天來了,上課可以不用開燈,好省一點電
不可思議的真人真事:

Some people say there can be no love without understanding. At this link are audio and video recordings of whales and dophins which can help us understand them more.
Wait a minute, is this why the Japanese are whaling?

Note: According to The Guardian Unlimited, "As the polar icecap melts, huge deposits of gas and oil below the seabed will become accessible for the first time. But the question of who owns what in the Arctic is far from clear. With major military build-ups beginning in the area..."
雖然我懷疑這些公司背後的動機而且覺得他們所做的只是在不環保的business裏作少一點的惡,可是不能否認的是他們減少了carbon emission。人總不能有彈無讚。什麼都不滿意的話,就算是有心人也會覺得很discouraging。所以,表揚他們罷!
鼓勵他們繼續下去。
鼓勵別的機構參與。
Let them know what they are doing is for a worthy cause. And that their efforts are recognized.
Note: According to WWF's Climate Savers programme, by 2010, 15 major international companies (including Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Nike, Nokia, Polaroid, Sony) will have collectively cut their carbon emissions by some 13 million tonnes annually – the equivalent of taking more than 3 million cars off the road every year.

此行西澳 ,重點活動是跟野生海豚暢泳。三叔、三嬸和我在Bunbury登上遊艇。
「別以為你可以游泳追海豚,」領隊講解:「在海,你只能做各種趣怪動作吸引海豚注意,牠們看得高興,自會游近你。簡單來說,是人娛樂海豚。」
遊艇駛近四條海豚,團友紛紛下水。三叔年紀不輕,我問他行不行。三叔蠻有信心地反問:「當年是誰教你游泳?」
「是你,」我想了想道:「你還讚我青出於藍。結果我和同學游泳,差點遇溺身亡。」
三叔和我一同跳進水去。穿了潛水衣,浮力增加;靜止不動,頭也可以伸出水面。可惜海豚似乎心情欠佳,又或另有節目,一轉眼便消失了。
「為甚麼不拋些魚進海吸引海豚?」我問領隊。
「這樣做會削弱野生海豚的捕魚能力,甚至害死年幼海豚,因為牠們正處於學習階段。」澳洲人很注重保育。
「換了是金錢掛帥的國家,」三叔說:「只要付錢,主辦單位必定餵海豚,還讓你用硬幣擲海豚的頭許願。」
我笑了,卻又有點悲哀。

所有人都說他瘋了。徒步南、北極。可他還是做了。瘋子現在的目標是要挽救南極。他見到冰山崩裂、垃圾堆積,他說,"Save Antarctica. Of course we can.”
老實說,我一向對於那些誓要做世界第一、名垂千古的人不以為然,但當這瘋勁is for a cause,that’s a different story。
後記:Robert Swan在luncheon中問,「有多少人知道ozone hole已經受到控制?」搖頭。"Because that’s good news.”
