Hello everyone!

Welcome to our radio talk show. 

This is Sally.  And I'm Lydia.

Lydia: April 22 this year is the 53rd world earth day. Do you know anything about this festival?

Lydia：今年4月22日是第53个世界地球日，你对这个节日有什么了解吗？

Sally: I only know that it is a festival specially set up for the protection of the world's environment, but I don't know the details. Can you tell me a story about this festival?

Sally：我只知道它是专为世界环境保护而设立的节日，但不知道详情。你可以给我讲讲这个节日的有关故事吗？

Lydia: Of course. This was initiated by the United States in 1970 and has now grown to 192 countries around the world. World earth day aims to raise public awareness of existing environmental problems and mobilize people to participate in environmental protection campaigns. Improve the overall environment of the earth through green and low-carbon life. Since the 1990s, China has held world earth day on April 22 every year.

Lydia：当然。这是由美国在1970年发起的，现在已经发展到全球192个国家。世界地球日旨在提高民众对于现有环境问题的意识，并动员民众参与到环保运动中。通过绿色低碳生活，改善地球的整体环境。中国从20世纪90年代起，每年都会在4月22日举办世界地球日活动。

Sally: It means a lot to humans. I learned today that Apple will launch today at Apple's "create for all things" series of courses in response to world earth day to guide everyone to speak for the earth. At the same time, major game platforms have also launched relevant activities.

Sally：这对于人类来说意义非凡。我今天得知苹果为响应世界地球日，将推出Today at Apple “为万物，齐创造”系列课程，引导大家为地球发声。同时，各大游戏平台也推出了相关活动。

Lydia: Yes, this year's world earth day will follow the publicity theme of "cherish the earth and live in harmony with nature". Organize and carry out theme publicity activities in the form of activity week.

Lydia：是的，今年的世界地球日将沿用“珍爱地球人与自然和谐共生”宣传主题。以活动周的形式组织开展主题宣传活动。通过深入学习宣传贯彻习近平生态文明思想，引导全社会树立“尊重自然、顺应自然、保护自然”的生态文明理念，动员全社会积极践行绿色低碳的生活方式。

Sally: It's urgent to protect the environment. In recent years, the earth disaster film reminds the world not to forget to protect the earth. Before the avalanche, no snowflake felt responsible. On earth day, we should realize that each of us can play a role in protecting nature.

Sally：保护环境刻不容缓。近年来，地球灾难片警醒世人不要忘记守护地球。雪崩之前，没有一片雪花觉得自己有责任。在地球日，我们应该认识到我们每个人都能够为保护自然发挥作用。

Lydia: Yes, I remember the sad past. Earthquakes, storms, mountain fires, floods, tsunamis and so on have brought varying degrees of damage to human production and life. It is a common theme of the international community that mankind should understand the occurrence and development of these disasters in a scientific sense and minimize the harm they cause.

Lydia：是的，痛心的往事历历在目。地震、风暴、山火、洪灾、海啸等等，它们给人类的生产和生活带来了不同程度的损害。人类要从科学的意义上认识这些灾害的发生、发展以及尽可能减小它们所造成的危害，这已是国际社会的一个共同主题。

Sally: Human beings have only one earth, how to cherish our blue Homeland? What can we do for the Earth? Some efforts in life may make us add green to the Earth. The understanding is in place, and the action can't be left behind.

Sally：人类只有一个地球，如何珍爱我们的蓝色家园？我们能为地球做些什么？认识到位了，行动也不能落下。

Lydia: Yeah, in fact, some efforts in life may make us add green to the Earth.

Lydia: 对，其实，生活中的一些举手之劳也许能让我们为地球添抹绿。

Sally: In my view, to start with garbage sorting that enables a zero waste environment. We produce a lot of garbage every day. Disordered mixing not only leads to the spread of odor, but also pollutes the soil and underground water.

Sally:先从垃圾分类开始，开启零浪费生活。我们每天都会生产很多垃圾，无序的混堆不仅导致臭气蔓延，填埋还会污染土壤和地下水体。

Lydia: I agree! We also need to save water. Water resources are very important to human beings, but they are not inexhaustible。

Lydia: 我同意！我们还要节约用水。水资源对于人类来说非常重要，但它并不是取之不尽、用之不竭的。

Sally: Water conservation should start from every bit of life. For example, the first time washing rice or vegetables can be watered; The water after washing the face and washing can be left to clean the floor, wash the toilet, etc.

Sally: 节约用水要从生活的点点滴滴做起，比如淘米或洗菜的第一遍水可以浇花；洗脸、洗衣后的水可以留下来擦地、冲厕所等。

Lydia: One more thing--Protect wild animals and refuse to eat them.

Lydia: 还有，保护野生动物、拒食野生动物。

Sally: Right! You reminded me！At present, the new coronavirus epidemic is rampant all over the world. Under this grim situation, people are increasingly aware of the importance of protecting wild animals.

Sally: 对！你提醒了我！目前，新冠疫情肆虐全球。在如此严峻形势下，人们愈发明白保护野生动物的重要意义。

Lydia: Of course! After all, the behavior of refusing to eat wild animals and protecting biodiversity is also to protect human beings themselves.

Lydia: 当然了！毕竟拒绝食用野生动物以及保护生物多样性其实也是保护人类自身。

Sally: In recent years, the concept of green and low-carbon travel has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What do you think of this?

Sally: 这几年，绿色低碳出行理念深入人心。对此，你怎么看？

Lydia: If conditions permit, you can try to walk or ride a bicycle or take public transportation to travel more and reduce the use of motor vehicles.

Lydia: 我觉得在条件允许的情况下，可以多尝试步行或骑自行车或乘坐公共交通工具出行，减少使用机动车。

Sally: When the weather is fine, you can also go outdoors for cycling and walking, which not only exercises your body, relaxes your mind, but also reduces energy consumption.

Sally: 在天气晴好的时候，大家也可以多去户外骑车、健步走等，既锻炼了身体，放松了身心，也降低了能耗。

Lydia: This Blue Planet has existed for billions of years. As a new 'new member', human beings should cherish this homeland and naturally guard its splendor with serenity, harmony and beauty.

Lydia: 这颗蔚蓝的星球已经存在了几十亿年，人类作为初来乍到的“新成员”，更应珍爱这片家园，还自然以宁静、和谐、美丽，守护它的精彩。

Sally: Cherish the Earth and coexist harmoniously with nature. The nature we love will be better because of your care and mine!

Sally: 珍爱地球，与自然和谐共生，我们所爱的大自然，必将因你我的呵护而更加美好！
