你在做什么?我在拯救地球

一个小男孩体现了地球日的善行本质

加入我们的科学爱好者社区!

昨天是地球日,我们邀请了所有人向我们发送照片和视频,展示他们如何庆祝第45届年度活动,或为改善我们的栖息地贡献力量。我们听说了各种有趣的活动,但一个小男孩可能最能体现这一天的精神和实践性。看看下面的36秒视频。视频中,“哈立德”被问及他在做什么,他正用棍子戳着纽约州罗切斯特湖边的一个塑料袋。当他专注于他的任务时,他说:“我在拯救地球!”

当然,许多机构都举办活动来纪念地球日。其中一个活动如下,是佛蒙特州林登州立学院在所谓的东北王国(该州最右上角)。

在半个地球之外,孟加拉国的巴图阿卡利科学技术大学灾害管理学院也做了同样的事情。

清理似乎是许多地方的主要主题,一些组织利用上周末进行了更大的项目。例如,自然保护协会接待了志愿者,他们从纽约市东部的牙买加湾野生动物保护区清理垃圾。该地区是鸟类重要的迁徙停留地。它也是一道至关重要的天然屏障,可以吸收来自大西洋的风暴潮;事实上,海湾帮助保护了该市东南部侧翼免受飓风桑迪的袭击。

有关气候、生态和能源的更多信息,请参阅《大众科学》昨天地球日期间发布的几篇文章。其中包括一组四个图表,描绘了地球不断变化的气候状况,一篇有趣的环境科学家名单,他们正在从事引人入胜的研究,以及由我们自己的大卫·比耶洛主持的一部纪录片的首映,该纪录片探讨了美国是否可以完全依靠电力运行。
