The Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, which offers tips for reorganizing personal space and getting rid of untidiness, has inspired many to shrink their overstuffed closets. Charity shops have seen an increase in donations of used clothing, a phenomenon that’s been credited to the influence of the show.
But people have a popular method of dealing with unwanted clothing. They simply throw it in the trash. And that’s become a real problem.
According to Fast Company, people of New York City throw 200 million pounds of clothing into the garbage each year. The used clothing goes on to take up space in landfills for an unlimited period of time. The Environmental Protection Agency reported in 2015 that 10.5 million tons of clothing wound up in the trash that year. New York’s fashion leaders and the city’s sanitation (公共卫生) agencies have started an advertising campaign directing people to cover 1,000 drop-off points where unwanted clothes can be deposited for recycling or repurposing. But if you can’t find one of the collection points in your neighborhood, what can you do with your old clothes?
Selling is one option. Local clothes stores may offer only a modest price for your used clothing collections, but they’ll likely fall into other hands rather than a landfill. There are also online marketplaces like ThredUP and Material World that pay cash or offer store credit for designer or chain-store clothing that you mail in. To maximize their value, it’s best to present clothing folded, buttoned, and cleaned.
You can also try sites like Rehash Clothes to promote a clothing exchange with others who are looking to clear up their closet. If you want to throw clothing because it’s damaged, give some thought to repairing it instead. Things like loose or missing buttons can be simple fixes; stains can be covered by dyeing material (染料). All of these options can keep some of your clothing’s value.
Whatever you decide to do, it’s best to keep clothing on someone’s back in one form or another—not in the trash.

【推荐1】Six years ago, as the Paris Accord was agreed at the 21st UN climate conference, the French hosts wisely insisted on an item urging countries to match promises with deeds.
Having committed to try to hold global temperature rises “well below” 2℃ compared to preindustrial times, governments were commanded to produce updated plans in 2020, showing how they would actually achieve that goal.
This year’s extreme weather events—the terrible heatwaves, wildfires and floods that have made headlines across the globe—are evidence that the destructive consequences of global heating are happening faster than expected and on a larger scale. The world today is 1.1-1.2℃ hotter than in the preindustrial era. Heating beyond 1.5℃ would deliver even more devastating droughts and crop failures. It would increase the chances of greater famine and ecosystem collapse.
The European Union has suggested new law on industrial emissions, transport and carbon-intensive imports, designed to cut emissions to 55% below 1990 levels by 2030. These moves reflect a delayed sense of urgency; but time is running out in the race to close the gap between the total emissions cuts proposed by countries and the level actually required.
Cop26 is unlikely to produce the drama of a Paris-style breakthrough; but it must pave the way for concerted global action to speed up emissions cuts. Concrete measures are required in areas such as consuming less coal, reducing methane gas emissions preserving forests and lands, and financing climate improvement in developing nations.
What is done and left undone this decade will determine the fate of future generations. As a UN pre-summit spokesman put it last week, “Eight years to make the plans, put in place the policies, carry out them and ultimately deliver the cuts. The clock is ticking loudly.”

【推荐2】In 2008, when National Geographic Explorer and photojournalist Martin Edstrom learned about the discovery of Hang Son Doong in Vietnam, he realized the cave’s vast “room”—as large as a city block—would be a perfect showcase for the 360-degree and virtual reality(VR) technologies he was using. And while he loves heading to remote places, he doesn’t regard this part of his work as “exploration”. “I find that going to these remote and challenging places brings out the best in me creatively,” he says.
Edstrom traveled with a small team deep into the jungle to reach the remote entrance to the cave. There, they used robotic camera heads, a single DSLR and several smaller camera rigs to build immersive(沉浸的), 360-degree environments that viewers could “inhabit” via VR headsets. This technology was beginning to go mainstream, with Facebook launching their 360-video service in 2015.
The media that Edstrom and his team created allows people to have an intimate (亲密的)—though digital—experience of a natural wonder that few will ever witness firsthand. “The joy of this is really that I get to step out of these restrictions of the frame. I can put people inside the experience,” Edstrom explains. “They get to see what I see.”
Inspiring wonder of the natural world can also help catalyze positive action. The discovery of Hang Son Doong prompted great interest from investors looking to capitalize on the site’s heritage value, including one company that proposed running a cable car through a section of the cave. By drawing international attention to the cave, Edstrom’s 360-degree interactive videos may have played a part in ensuring its preservation: for now, just one tour operator is licensed by the Vietnam government to conduct expeditions to Hang Son Doong, and these are limited to four days. For Edstrom, this is exactly the kind of outcome he’s looking for.

【推荐1】First it was jogging. Then aerobics (有氧运动). Not too long ago, Americans discovered race walking.
Now Americans are into a new fitness craze. They’re taking up bicycling. Over hills and down mountainsides and across quiet country roads, Americans are busily rolling along.
The number of adults who ride for fitness is around 17 million, an increase of 70 percent over four years ago. Twice as many women as men are coming to the sport. Americans are falling in love with biking because it has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery.
Bicycling is a very appropriate sport, which is important to people who injured their knees while jogging or whose joints are aching from aerobics. And biking is a real awakening for people who have been into race walking in the past. Race walking is as dull as watching paint dry.
The most popular kind of bicycle for people who are new to the sport is the mountain bike, which has a fixed frame with wide tires and upright handles.
Mountain bikes also have many gears (齿轮) to make it easier to climb hills. About 5 million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200, 000 who rode them only five years ago.
Costs range from about $130 for a bottom-of-the-line bicycle to more than $2,700 for an expensive bicycle.
Mountain biking has attracted some people who race down the sides of mountains like a bat out of hell. But most riders ride slowly and they rarely venture far from home.
The biking craze has brought an unexpected profit (盈利) to clothing and bicycle accessory (附属品) makers. Last year, bikers paid $630 million for biking clothes and accessories.
Bicycling seems likely to continue its fantastic growth.

【推荐2】Sea life near Turkey is being threatened by a layer of brown foam on the ocean s surface.
The actual name for the foam is mucilage (黏液). Scientists first noticed and described mucilage in 2007, when it was found near Turkey. Then, it was also found in other parts of the Aegean Sea, near Greece.
This year’s outbreak of mucilage is the worst ever recorded. It’s been developing for seven months and is now covering large parts of the Sea of Marmara. The Sea of Marmara is an “inland sea”, surrounded by land belonging to Turkey, and connected to the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea.
There are many different kinds of algae (海藻), and it’s natural and normal for algae to grow in the ocean or in other bodies of water. But when there is lots of food for the algae, and other conditions are just right, there can be “an algae bloom” which results in algae growing quickly and in huge numbers And in very bad situations, mucilage is the result.
There are two main causes for the present outbreak of mucilage. One is the heavy pollution sewage, fertilizers, and other chemicals- flowing into the Sea of Marmara. The second cause is higher water temperatures because of climate change.
The mucilage causes problems in lots of different ways. For one thing, by covering the ocean’s surface, it stops sunlight from reaching all the sea life below. “This mucilage is now covering the sea surface like a tent canvas,” says Muharrem Balci, who teaches biology at Istanbul University. Because there is so much algae, it takes up lots of oxygen from the seawater. That means that there’s very little oxygen left for the other sea creatures that depend on it. The BBC reports that divers in the area are seeing large numbers of dying fish. After a while, the mucilage falls to the bottom of the ocean, where it covers the sea floor threatening to poison creatures that live there, like crabs and mussels. This year, the mucilage has been found as deep as 30 meters below the surface.

【推荐3】Doctor Scharfschwerdt spent 15 years in some of the poorest counties in Southwest China’s Yunnan province providing free medical services and training village doctors and nurses.
The man from Germany sometimes even paid for patients who could not afford their medical bills. Besides being a volunteer doctor, he was also an English teacher to middle and primary school students. He offered an English corner for village kids at a high school in Honghe to stimulate their interest in study, broaden their vision and give them personal encouragement.
To help villagers get rid of poverty in Heqing county, he ran community development projects. He bought 145 goats and then loaned them to 28 families so they could raise the goats and generate more income, and built 56 water cisterns and 48 family biogas plants. He also introduced small-scale silage pits and supported silkworm (蚕) raising.
Scharfschwerdt was deeply impressed by the progress in healthcare services in this remote part of China. “To me, the introduction of the rural cooperative medical insurance program and its continuous increase in coverage have had the most crucial impact on local healthcare,” he said.
When he arrived in Yunnan in 2000, many patients couldn’t afford hospital treatment due to the absence of health insurance. In those days, many county-level hospitals had only very simple equipment, and medical concepts were based on personal experience rather than scientific evidence. With the introduction of health insurance in Heqing in 2006, the number of inpatients tripled because people could afford medical treatment, and a new hospital had to be built. Similar things happened all over Yunnan.
After having learned Chinese language and culture for two years, he moved to the countryside in 2001 to impart medical knowledge and skills to healthcare providers through informal bedside teaching as well as formal training courses with instructors from other countries.
Scharfschwerdt returned to Germany in 2016 but he still visits China twice every year. In the future, he plans to organize training programs in Yunnan and take young people from Germany to visit China to help them find out that China is a beautiful place and the Chinese people are hospitable.

So how does it work? First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes, which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go, for the length of time you use the bike.
Transport for London, which runs the scheme, is hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40 ,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been 6ifilled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses".
However, there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few "teething problems" and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a "gesture of goodwill". Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.
Despite the comments, the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, "My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards. "

【推荐3】Do you like to flaunt your expensive items? You could find yourself without friends! Scientists prove that expensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive.
Items such as a fancy car and a Rolex watch are often thought to increase our social standing and often come with a high price tag(标签).According to the latest research, however, it has the opposite effect and people would prefer to be friends with someone who places less value on material objects.
“Often we think that status symbols will make us look more socially attractive to others, “says Stephen Garcia, the study's lead author from the University of Michigan. He adds, “However, our research suggests that these status signals actually make us look less socially attractive.
The researchers conducted six studies which assessed how people presented themselves and how people viewed strangers. People who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response, but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols.
The study took the role of the luxury item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in people's reactions. The definition of a status symbol changed based on a person's socioeconomic status, but the same effect of keeping off potential friends was seen regardless of social position.
"At a social level, we may be wasting billions of dollars on expensive status symbols that finally keep others from wanting to associate with us, "says Kimberlee Weaver Livnat at the University of Haifa. She says, "And to the extent that close friendships are important to well-being, we may be unintentionally hurting ourselves.”
However, Patricia Chen of the National University of Singapore said this does not necessarily mean status symbols are a bad thing. She says, "Our findings right now only apply to the formation of new friendships, Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts.”

Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine - laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV - infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to survive, Tyler’s mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, " I might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me. "

【推荐2】Growing up in an Italian-American household was, for me, very special. My mother, Gina, an immigrant from Calabria, Italy, held on to so many of her family traditions that sometimes, regardless of the fact that we were living in the United States, our home felt like an annex(附件) of Italy.
To this day, my mother may use some English terms and expressions from time to time, but our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations revolve around food.
While eating breakfast, we often discuss what we will make for lunch and right after lunch, we begin to figure out what’s on the menu for dinner. For us, food— Italian food— is an important part of our lives. We live to eat, not eat to live. The food my mother prepared for me and my sister as children is the same food my grandmother created in her small farm kitchen high up in the mountains.
So, it surprised no one that I dedicated the past four years of my life to a new cookbook, Heirloom Kitchen, which records and preserves the recipes of our ancestors, my family’s, and those of the families of many of my friends. These heritage recipes link us to our pasts.
One of my family’s heritage dishes I was sure to learn when I was young is my mother’s arancini di riso (Italian rice balls). Arancini, in Italian, means little oranges. After you roll some leftover rice into a small ball, place a piece of mozzarella(白干酪) in the center, and then bread and fry it, you get a golden ball.
My mother has always been respectful of ingredients. She grew up on a farm where the “fruits” of their labour directly transferred into the food on the table, and wasting any ingredient was unacceptable. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what I have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste, because a bit of creativity can create a new, delicious dish.
So, when I take a perfect little arancino out of the hot oil and crack it open, I am immediately transported back to my childhood: I was a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of last night’s rice transformed into crunchy goodness. This small snack symbolizes so many things in my life: my mother’s waste-not philosophy, her ability to take a few simple ingredients and transform them, and finally, the way she carried her mother’s recipes to the US in her mind and heart so she could, years later, teach me about my heritage through food.
