Company Makes Masks from Plants
Oh, hi kids! I'm just eating some vegetables. Vegetables are plants. Fruits
are plants, too. We eat lots of plants. Do you know what other things we can
do with plants? Make things! We can make houses with trees, for example.
First, you cut the trees down. Then you can make a house.
蔬菜水果都是植物。植物可以吃也可以用來製造東西,很多房子就是木頭做的。
There is an American company that uses plants to make face masks.
一家美國的公司開始用植物來做口罩。
That is great! Do you know why? Well, because of COVID-19, there are a lot of
face masks these days. When people throw them away, it makes a lot of
garbage. 使用過的口罩被丟掉造成很大量的垃圾。
Have you ever seen face masks on a sidewalk? Yes, I really hate that, too!
Face masks are usually made from a type of plastic. Plastic takes a very long
time to disappear from the environment. So all those face masks are a big
problem. They take up space in landfills. "Take up" means "uses."
這些垃圾占用了很大的空間。
But one company named G95 makes masks from plants. These masks fully
disappear from the environment in 90 days after they are thrown away! When
people have used the masks, they can mail them back to the company. G95 then
recycles the old masks! That is so great!
這家公司用植物做成的口罩,丟掉90天之後就分解不見了。要是你把用過的口罩寄回去,這家公司還會把它回收利用。

Meet the BusTrain
Is that a bus? Um… yes… But it's also a train! It's a bus and a train…
it's a BusTrain!
這台車是一輛巴士,同時也是一輛火車!
A bus and a train… no way… that's crazy!
Some places in Japan, like Tokyo, are super busy, and many, many people live
there.
But very few people live in some places in the countryside of Japan... some
towns only have around 100 people… but they need a way to travel.
在日本,有一些鄉下地方人口很少,但是他們一樣需要到處去。
That's why the bus-train is a good idea.
It has 4 wheels with tires… like a bus, but when it drives on the railway
tracks… 2 metal wheels come down… these two metal wheels are train wheels…
so the bus can turn into a train!
這輛巴士有四個輪胎,但是開上鐵軌的時候,會有兩個金屬輪子從巴士底部降下來,巴士就變成火車了!
These new bus-trains can pick people up in very small towns, drive to a
railway, and then go into a big city as a train.
小鎮的居民可以先搭這一台巴士到了有軌道的地方,然後巴士變成了火車,把他們送到大城市。
It's a pretty cool idea, yeah? Driving in a bus all the way from the
countryside to the big city would take too long, but building a train line to
a very small town is too expensive.
如果只坐巴士,從鄉下到大城市會太久,但是蓋鐵路又太貴了!
The answer is the bus-train... a vehicle that can be a bus or a train!
What an interesting idea!
