California Says No to Gas Cars
Today is World Car Free Day! It's a time when some people stop driving their
cars for a whole day.
今天是世界無車日!
Cars make a lot of pollution. There are lots of other ways to stop cars from
making so much pollution. Like in California… they want to stop selling gas
cars by 2035.
汽車製造了很多污染。美國加州想從2035年以後不賣燃油車了。
California won't stop selling all cars. They will just stop selling cars that
use gas, which make lots of pollution. They will still sell cars that use
electricity, of course.
不是所有車都不賣了,他們還會賣電動車。
Other states in America also want to ban the sale of gas cars. This means the
air in these places will be cleaner.
美國有一些地方也想要不賣燃油車,這樣空氣會比較乾淨。
And now, Taiwan says it wants to ban the sale of gas cars too! Wow! That's
great. Taiwan won't stop selling them as soon as California, though. Taiwan
plans to stop selling gas cars by 2040. That's five years later than
California.
現在台灣也想要這樣做,不過會從2040年開始,比加州慢五年。
Try walking home today, or taking the MRT! Have a happy and healthy World Car
Free Day everybody!

You see them a lot in parks. Some people like to feed them. Pigeons are okay

Bus Stops For Bees and Butterflies
Hi students! You guys know that bees are important, right?
They help plants grow. Butterflies also help plants grow. If we didn't have
bees and butterflies, we wouldn't grow as much food. The world would be in
big trouble then.
蝴蝶跟蜜蜂會幫忙授粉,沒有牠們,就種不出足夠的食物。這樣世界就糟糕了!
But there are fewer bees and butterflies now. One reason is that cities are
growing.
但蜜蜂跟蝴蝶越來越少了,其中一個原因是城市變大了。
When cities get bigger, there are fewer places for bees and butterflies to
visit flowers and other plants safely.
城市變大後,越來越少地方可以讓蜜蜂跟蝴蝶安全地授粉。
Now, people are helping these insects by building special bus shelters. They
have little gardens on top of them.
現在,有人蓋了特別的公車亭,上面有一個小花園。
The Netherlands was the first place to have these special bus stops. England
also has them. England wants to have more than 1,000 of them soon. There are
some in France and Belgium also.
荷蘭是第一個有這種公車亭的國家,另外,英國、法國、比利時也有。
These bus shelters need to be stronger than regular bus shelters because the
dirt and water on top of them is heavy.
這種公車亭必須要很堅固,因為上面的泥土跟水都很重。
This is a great idea! Taiwan should build bus stops for bees and butterflies
to visit. Or, maybe I should call them BUZZ-shelters.
