They do that because its impossible not to break the rules, given that some

7、 of the things that hurt the environment most are ones we all depend on. Dont believe me? Check out a few examples of things we-eco-hypocrites included-should do if we really want to help this planet.Get Rid of TrashRidding a city of waste is not as farfetched as it sounds. San Francisco has already

8、 vowed to go waste-free by 2020, and has set up one of the most aggressive recycling programs in the nation. It may seem like a daydream, but all properties are required to recycle and compost(制成堆肥). Thats right, the entire city does not throw away food scraps, soiled paper, or plants-more than 62 0

9、00 tons since the program began in 2009. Recology San Francisco, the citys waste-management department, will even pick up large items and clothes.

14、ul in the US, thats not the case everywhere in the world. Unpolluted fresh water is a finite resource and is increasingly in demand as the human population grows. Right now, the worlds supply is being drained faster than nature can replenish it, and the UN predicts that demand will exceed supply by
