2、时。Mil公路上发生了一起事故。”How often have you heard these conversations? How often do we get stuck in traffic jams? How often do we arrive at work or school, stressed out, tired and angry?

6、self, too. To be frank, I m addicted to my car. When I asked Jenny Trowe of Greenpeace for advice about how to give up, she told me five things: 我们知道汽车带来的危害，但总能找到借口： “公共汽车很糟糕” “火车总 是晚点” “我没有时间走路”。我说的也包括我自己。坦率地说，我离不 开车。当我向绿色和平组织的詹妮特洛维询问如何放弃车时，她给了五 条建议： Use your legs. In 2014, over 55% of car journeys

7、 were under eight kilometres. Instead of taking short car journeys, we could easily walk or cycle. Leg power can save your money, keep you fit and help you live longer. Regular exercise also cuts the risk of heart disease by 50%!走路。2014年，超过55%的汽车行程不到8公里。可以轻易地用走路或 骑行来代替短途的开车出行。利用脚力行走可以省钱，保持健康并帮助延 长寿命

8、。经常锻炼也能降低50%患心脏病的风险！ Use public transport. Up to 90 people can travel in one bus, while the same number will need at least 18 cars. Sometimes it can take a little bit longer, but so what?

Before you get into your car, think about whether you really need to make that journey.出发之前先想想。你真的要去镇上另一边的那个购物中心吗？拐角处的 商店怎么样？在上车

10、之前，想想你是否真的需要开车去那个地方。 Share cars. If you really have to use a car, share journeys with someone else. It is much cheaper and kinder to the environment.共享汽车。如果不得不用车，与其他人共用一辆车。这样更便宜，也更 环保。 Take action! We often think there is nothing we can do about the noise, pollution and danger of traffic. There is.

11、If your street is full of heavy traffic, talk to your neighbours about it. Write to the papers. Go to the city government. Ask for a speed limit. Do whichever of these things that suit you. Don t just sit around and complain!采取行动！我们经常觉得面对噪音、污染和交通危险，自己无能为力。 其实可以有所为。如果你那条街的交通繁忙，去和邻居们谈谈，向媒体反 映，去市政府，申请设
