It's easy to think that individuals can't make a difference when it comes to the issue of global warming. How often do we hear reports of governments and large companies making sweeping changes to help reduce their carbon pollution compared to smaller micro schemes? I often question the impact of individuals only to realise that real measurable change will only happen when everybody acts together. It is entirely possible to travel in an environmentally responsible way whereby you save money and reduce your carbon footprint. Here’s a list of ideas and techniques that when applied to your life will save you money and help protect our environment.

當(dāng)說(shuō)到全球變暖的問(wèn)題時(shí)，人們似乎都覺(jué)得個(gè)人的力量微不足道。相比于那些較小的微型計(jì)劃，我們有多常聽(tīng)到政府和大公司進(jìn)行大規(guī)模改變來(lái)減少二氧化碳的污染？我經(jīng)常詢(xún)問(wèn)個(gè)人對(duì)環(huán)境的影響，發(fā)現(xiàn)只有當(dāng)大家一起行動(dòng)的時(shí)候才會(huì)產(chǎn)生真正看得到的變化。帶著環(huán)保的心態(tài)去旅游，既省錢(qián)又減少你的二氧化碳足跡，這是完全有可呢個(gè)的。這里有一系列觀點(diǎn)和技巧，把它們運(yùn)用在你的生活里，省錢(qián)又環(huán)保，一舉兩得。


Use your own steam!

用自己的能量

Protecting the environment doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive and time consuming. In fact, you can hack your habits to great effect and start making a difference in the morning. You’ll be doing your general fitness and health a favour as well as that of the environment.

保護(hù)環(huán)境大可不必復(fù)雜昂貴又花時(shí)間。事實(shí)上，你可以努力改掉一些習(xí)慣，開(kāi)始一個(gè)非比尋常的早晨。你要像平時(shí)喜歡健身那樣去愛(ài)上環(huán)境。

1. Where possible, walk: Start with the simplest option first. Don’t drive everywhere, walk those small trips. In stating the obvious, by leaving the car behind and simply walking or riding a bike you are doing both yourself and the environment good. Not only will you save money on fuel and the general upkeep of car but other knock on effects include the improved outdoor air quality and reduction on road congestion.

1.只要有可能，就步行：首先以最簡(jiǎn)單的選擇開(kāi)始。別去哪都開(kāi)車(chē)，一小段路就走走吧。很快你就會(huì)清楚地看到，不用汽車(chē)而是僅僅步行或騎自行車(chē)，對(duì)你自己和環(huán)境都有好處。你不僅可以在燃料和汽車(chē)日常保養(yǎng)費(fèi)上省下錢(qián)，也對(duì)改善室外空氣質(zhì)量和降低道路擁堵起了很大的作用。

2. Get on your bike: You’ll not always be able to walk to your destination. Jump on your bike for those trips where you’d normally be jumping into the car without a second thought. You’ll develop your muscles, improve cardiovascular health, reduce congestion and generate zero emissions.

2.騎上你的自行車(chē)：你不可能永遠(yuǎn)步行到目的地。有時(shí)你會(huì)想也不想就想鉆進(jìn)汽車(chē)?yán)锔愣ㄟ@些短途，不過(guò)最好還是跳上你的自行車(chē)。你會(huì)鍛煉出肌肉，提高心血管健康，減少擁堵，而且實(shí)現(xiàn)零釋放。
