    在加拿大感觉最深的是环境好,这是在今天报纸上的一张图片,每个人对环境都有一种爱护的好感,非常喜欢这张图片,它透明,单纯,就像每日的蓝天一样明快,Martin老师选了一个开天辟地的故事,"How the World was Created"

     "Pan Ku's final breaths became the winds and the cloud, and his voice turned into thunder.His eyes became the sun and the moon. The giant's arms and legs became mountain ranges and his blood the rivers. The hairs on his body became plants, his tears rain and his bones sank into the ground. I wonder what his bones became? Some Chinese thought Pan Ku's life did not really end for his body parts were all around them in different forms and because his eyes were up in the heavens, he still watched over his people below."

    Albert Einstein famously predicted that if bees were to cease to exist, humans could last only four years after the last bee died. A shocking estimation, but these pollinators truly make our ecosystems work. What’s frightening is that the world’s pollinators, predators, prey, vegetation and oceans that we rely on for food, oxygen and water are at risk. Which is precisely why Metro is dedicating this year’s annual Green Metro to the topic of biodiversity — a term that, quite simply put, means the vast variety of plants, animals and natural resources found on Earth. Like bees. So read on — and plant a garden. Ride your bike. Remember the oceans, the bees, the worms — they are your neighbours ... and our heroes.(metronews.ca)
