Prince Charles yesterday, promised to reduce the royal impact on the environment through sweeping changes to his personal lifestyle and official schedule. The prince will replace carbon-h(huán)eavy private jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services.
The move came as Prince Charles urged business leaders to publish the environmental impact of their activities. He said, “Few accountants and business decision-makers ask, ‘How much of our critical natural resource is left? How many miles of polar ice cap has our business helped melt this year? By how many inches have we raised sea levels? How many species have we put at risk? How many homes will be flooded, how many people will die of thirst or starvation because of our activities?’ These are not comfortable questions, but, by God, they need to be asked.”
He added,“At the moment these costs do not appear in anyone's books. Yet they are real, they are incurred (遭受) now and in a relatively short time, the damage being caused may be beyond remedy(補(bǔ)救).”He said the world was “running up the_biggest_global_credit_card_debt in history, but with little or no thought for how the bill will ever be paid”.
Flanked by (兩側(cè)有) the prime minister and business and community leaders at St James' Palace, the prince said his new accounting for sustainability (可持續(xù)性) project would give consumers the power to choose products that caused less damage to the planet.
Duchy Originals, the Prince's food company, is taking steps to quantify how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas is emitted in growing, processing and distributing its products.
The changes to the Prince's travel arrangements announced yesterday are part of a wider review of the carbon footprint associated with activities at all three of his residences: Clarence House in London, Highgrove and Birkhall on the Balmoral estate, as well as the activities of his 21 personal and 105 full-time staff.
Measures include a review of electricity use, commuter(通勤者) and other staff travel and are intended to identify further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. The review will report in June, when Clarence House will announce annual targets to reduce carbon emissions.
6. One of the moves Prince Charles will take to reduce the royal impact on the environment is ________.
A. taking private jets that are not carbon-h(huán)eavy
B. taking helicopters instead of private jets
C. taking trains instead of scheduled flights
D. taking scheduled flights instead of helicopters
7. How does Prince Charles feel about business leaders in terms of environmental protection?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Disappointed.
C. Doubtful. D. Impatient.
8. Duchy Originals will ________ in response to Prince Charles' calls.
A. make as much green food as possible
B. cut down on its electricity use
C. figure out its greenhouse gas emission
D. reduce its greenhouse gas emission
9. The underlined phrase “the biggest global credit card debt” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ________.
A. the great amount of waste produced by industry
B. the great damage caused for the environment
C. the great amount of debts of the royal family
D. the high cost of industry in the producing process
10. What would be the BEST title of the passage?
A. Prince Charles promises greener royal lifestyle
B. Better late than never
C. Prince Charles and his concern for the environment
D. The royal family has a role to play in environment protection
