Ten years ago, Sir Richard Branson launched an exciting challenge. A reward of $25 million would be offered to anyone if he/she     1    (come) up with an achievable and sustainable way to remove greenhouse gases from the air. He thought such an innovation would soon come true, and that    2    (power) people like him would carry out a top-down solution in one fell swoop (一下子).

No such situation appeared, not even with the massive reward. But all is not lost. Branson believed everyone could participate in    3     (save) humanity; it wouldn't be a task for just a few superheroes. It was the spirit    4     inspired Paul Hawken and a network of researchers to come up with the book, Drawdowns.

Drawdown focuses on small, practical steps, not    5    (possible) solutions. Hawken's researchers collected data, information and practical knowledge, creating what is something of an encyclopedia (百科全书) of solutions    6    the climate risk. One section of the book, “Coming Attractions”,     7    (look) at solutions that we are close to getting a handle on, and they are likely to be useful ones for the near future. Not a daydream, in other words,

Just as it says in this book, we can't just build a piece of big equipment    8    (make) the air cleaner. We can make small    9    (contribute) like reducing food waste, changing the lightbulbs to LED, installing solar panels and so on.

We are living in     10    interconnected world, so we need to think about the community, about the common interests of many individuals inhabiting a single planet.

She said, “Daddy, that doesn't go there.”That took Kirschner by surprise. He, like many adults, had become so used to seeing the rubbish     3    (throw) around them that he hadn't given it a second look.     4     his daughter said reminded him of the serious problem our planet faces.

Jeff started to take     5    (act). He created Litterati, an app that makes it fun to pick up litter. The idea is     6     (fair) simple: Spot a piece of trash, take a photo, post the photo online and then put the litter into dustbins.

    7    (see) that Jeff was keeping a record of the positive impact he was having on the planet, people worldwide started participating. Up to now, over 2,500,000 photos     8    (post) by 3,500 people from over 40 countries have found their way to Litterati's digital landfill.

Litterati is more than an app. It is highly     9    (effect) solution to a pressing issue. Wherever you live, whatever you do and     10     you are, join Litterati to make the world a cleaner and healthier place to live in.

The report highlighted the intimate connections which exist between our climate, our oceans and our very existence. It presented irrefutable scientific evidence     2     our warming climate is placing marine and frozen areas of our planet in grave danger, with some changes happening at a much larger scale and faster rate than previously     3    (predict).

This requires     5    (ambition) targets to reduce our carbon emissions and to shift our energy system away from polluting fossil fuels towards 100% renewable energies Change is also needed in international cooperation around     6     our oceans are protected.

It is hoped that early next year UN member states     7    (sign)a strong global ocean treaty that could pave the way for the creation of marine sanctuaries(禁猎区).     8    (place)at least 30%of oceans off limits to human activities such as commercial fishing and oil and gas exploration. This is a crucial step towards building the resilience of marine ecosystems and securing a sustainable future for those     9     livelihoods depend on our oceans.

The government has been a vocal champion for ocean conservation. Now is the time for Britain     10    (turn)political will into decisive action by leading the way with the forging of a new global ocean treaty.
