California burns every year, but 2020 is the worst year yet. In a study, more than 77,600 fires    1    (burn) over 2.5 million acres of land so far this year. Unfortunately, the season still has months to run. Over the past decade, the state has spent    2    average of $ 3.7 billion a year    3    (fight)fires. Although smaller than this year's, the 2018 fire season was    4    (particular) destructive, killing 100 people and burning tens of thousands of buildings.

8 . There are many ways to deal with the plastic pollution. Tom Szaky’s way may be one of the bravest. He has gone back to an old way-using reusable containers. The idea was used in the last century. It was introduced to the world by Coca-Cola in the early 1920s, when Coke was sold in expensive glass bottles that needed returning. They asked for two cents, about 40 percent of the full cost of the soft drink，and got about 98 percent of their bottles back, to be reused 40 or 50 times. Bottle deposit programs remain one of the most effective methods.

Ten months ago, Szaky started Loop, an online delivery service that uses strong reusable containers. The biggest part of his risk is that Loop pushes far beyond the common reusable bottles. From food packaging to washing powder packaging, the containers are in different sizes and made from different materials. One of his products is Haagen-Dazs ice cream that is packed inside a special box to keep the ice cream from melting.

17 years ago, Szaky founded TerraCycle, a small waste management company. He thought up a way to deal with plastics, cigarette wastes, and a long list of other wastes. Gradually, he became more interested in thinking of how to recycle different kinds of waste in the best way.

Loop is part of the reappearance of the reusable packaging as a best choice to plastic waste. The food and drink companies are more likely to use reusable bottles. A company said they have started the United States’ first state-wide reusable beer system. More obviously, Szaky’s idea of reusable packaging for products has attracted more and more companies to pay attention to the reusable packaging.

10 . The New South Wales government used planes to drop more than 4,000 pounds of carrots and sweet potatoes, to the forests which are damaged by the recent wildfires. The fires are reported to have killed more than a billion wild animals and destroyed a land of more than 84 thousand square kilometers—about twice the size of Maryland. What is worse, most Australians are worrying about when the wildfires will be fully put out.

“The home of several important wallabies (沙袋鼠) was burnt in the recent fires,” New South Wales Environment Minister Matt Kean said on Sunday. Kean said the drops are what wallabies need. The plan is designed to help wallabies and allow them to recover.

Fire seasons often take place in the country, but this year the fires have been quite devastating. The country experienced one of its hottest and driest years, which made it harder to put out the fires. Besides wild animals, the fires have taken the lives of at least 25 people and destroyed more than 2,000 homes.

“I think there’s nothing to compare with the damage that’s going on over such a large area so quickly. It’s a big event in terms of geography and the number of wild animals,” Dickman, an animal protection expert, said in an interview with NPR last week.

“We know that the number of Australian wild animals has been going down over the last several decades, and it’s probably fairly well known that Australia’s got the world’s highest rate of extinction of animals,” he added. “It’s events like this that may increase the speed of extinction of a lot of other animals. So, it’s very sad time. Everyone has to try their best to do something for them.”
