Thats very good, since an urban landscape viewed from above can be an unlovely thing
17、block after block of tarred (铺有沥青的) black rooftops, sticky in summer, windswept in winter, ugly year-round. Or at least thats the way it used to be.But urban roofs are going green. Environmental designers have begun to realize that the tops of buildings dont have to be wastelands. Indeed, they can b
18、e gardens, planted with grasses, flowers and bushes. A planted roof usually comes in one of the two varieties: extensive or intensive. The extensive type is wide and shallow, with a soil depth of less than 8 inches, able to support smaller plants. The intensive type may smaller, but its relatively d
19、eeper and home to larger plants. Whatever the design, green roofs are not so simple as ordinary gardens. They have multiple layers beneath the soil, including a drainage layer, waterproofing, structural support, and so on. But this system can do a great deal of good. A recent paper in the journal Bi
20、oScience tells that green roofs can control temperature, contain water and clean the air. And most impressively, they can cut heat loss from a building by 50%, lower air-conditioning costs by 25%, and reduce the urban-heated-island effect by 2C. Of course, apart from the square feet greened and heat
21、 reduced, green roofs are even more valued since people can gain some psychological comfort simply by having a quiet place to go.

Eco-fas
23、hion is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the term covers two aspects of fashionecological and ethical (伦理的). Ecological fashion usually refers to textile(织物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues(议题) surrounding them; ethical fashion generally relates to the workin
24、g conditions involved in the producing processes. What are the problems with fashion? Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the environmental heavily. Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming; synthetics-making (人造纤维生产) brings about harmful
25、 waste. Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve harmful chemicals. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly, gro
26、wing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment, and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worm only a couple of times. Then, how to
27、 solve the problem? To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting
28、sustainable(可持续使用的) materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycle and minimize waste. On the other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption. Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products b
29、ecause the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our person health. In fact, choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.Why choose eco-fashion?76_
