Ten years ago, Sir Richard Branson launched an exciting challenge.

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).

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.
