The Liuzhu Municipality Urban Planning Bureau has signed up Italian architect Stefan Beri,the father f the frest city mvement,t build a selfcntained cmmunity fr up t 30,000 peple.He is the gt man fr such prjects thanks t the success f his “vertical frests”,tw residential(住宅的) twers.Cmpleted in 2014,they remve up t 17.5 tns f st(煤烟) frm the air each year,and a year later ne f them was named Best Tall Building Wrldwide.
The Liuzhu prject is a much mre ambitius undertaking,hwever.Its hmes,hspitals,htels,schls and ffices will be built n a 340acre site in what Beri calls the first attempt t create an “urban envirnment that is really trying t find a balance with nature”.Its 100 species f plant life are expected t absrb almst 10,000 tns f carbn dixide and 57 tns f pllutants per year,while at the same time prducing 900 tns f lifegiving xygen.
Althugh the architects haven't published the cst f the frest city,the Milan twers cst nly five percent mre than traditinal skyscrapers.
The cnstructin f his frest city at Liuzhu is set t begin in 2020,and there is still a great deal f planning and research required befre a prjected cmpletin date can be set.Hwever,Beri remains ptimistic abut the prject and has cnfidence in the sundness f his visin:“I really think that bringing frests int the city is a way t deal with glbal warming.”

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn prduced influence n cnsumers' desire t g green.Hwever, shppers are still laying stress n envirnmental cncerns.
Tw thirds f custmers say that envirnmental cnsideratins infrm their purchases t the same degree as they did a year ag, while mre than a quarter say that they are nw even better aware f the envirnmental effect n what they buy.
This may help t influence hw shps stre gds n their shelves.And the cmpanies shuld still make effrts t becme mre envirnmentally friendly.Tw ut f three peple think it is imprtant t buy frm envirnmentally respnsible cmpanies, with abut ne in seven saying that they had even decided t take their custm elsewhere if they felt a cmpany's envirnmental reputatin was nt gd enugh.
Harry Mrrisn, chief executive (主管) f the Carbn Trust, sympathizes: “I understand this situatin where survival is very imprtant nw.But frm envirnmental cnsideratins, the clck is ticking—we dn't have much time.In additin, cutting carbn has an immediate effect as csts drp and a mediumterm benefit fr the brand.”
Larger cmpanies have an extra mtivatin t lk at reducing their carbn ftprint, as new rules next year will require businesses t buy carbn allwances t make up fr their emissins (排放).Thse that have taken early actin will have a head start.Mre than tw thirds f cnsumers are nt clear abut which cmpanies are envirnmentally respnsible.This suggests that firms that are able t relay clearly their message t the public will be in a ple psitin t attract shppers.
The Carbn Trust believes that it can help by infrming custmers abut the gd wrk cmpanies are ding.“When cmpanies are granted the standard, they can use a lg in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are wrking twards cutting emissins,” Mr.Mrrisn said.

Fr several years I'd witness this mysterius Vest Lady—rain r shine—n my way t schl.I had thught she was crazy fr picking up rubbish.Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her.Later, I mved t high schl.The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annyed.Then I'd think, “Why isn't anyne picking up this rubbish? Peple are s incnsiderate?” Hwever, shrtly after, I realized picking up the rubbish was nt smene else's prblem.
Nw I culdn't walk past litter withut feeling guilty.I vlunteered t clean up rubbish arund ur schl.Strange as it might sund, picking up litter was kind f a thrill fr me! In fact, I was s determined that fr my 17th birthday I bught myself a rubbish claw, reusable glves and a reflective safety yellw vest with my wn name n it.
During my first attempt in my stylish equipment, met with unfriendly lks frm thers as if I were a criminal ding cmmunity service.One day,I had an epiphany(顿悟):“I'm acting just like Vest Lady!”
But there was t much rubbish arund, cigarette ends littered abut, cans rlling n the street,pieces f paper hidden in the grass and plastic alne was t weak. Hw wuld I get mre vlunteers invlved in rubbish remval? A smart idea flashed int my mind.
