9、 waste from entering the oceans. The UN resolution(决议) has no timetable.

Under the resolution, governments would establish an international task force(特别工作组) to
10、advise on fighting what the UNs ocean chief has described as a world crisis. One controversial issue is the wish to include businesses in the global task force.

Vidar Helgesen, a leading voice in the talks, told BBC News, “The business is listening to markets and seeing how marine litter(海洋垃圾) is becoming a popular concern. Its possibly the fastest- growing environmental problem and its therefore a fast-growing problem f
12、or the business. We need to bring on board those companies that want to change things, and then look at taxes and regulations to make more companies act.” Certainly, there has been resistance from plastic firms to the bans. One UN delegate, who did not want to be named, stated that journalists in so
13、me countries were being paid by the plastic industry to write stories about job losses following the plastic bag ban. But they did not mention the jobs being created in alternatives, such as labour-intensive work, which provides work for the rural poor. But some governments are standing firm, and th
14、e meeting has witnessed individual nations declaring more thorough action against single-use plastic bags. The UNs spokesman Sam Barratt told BBC News, “Of course we would have liked to have gone further, but this meetings made real progress. Theres now a sense of urgency and energy behind the issue
15、 that we havent quite seen before. What is obvious, though, is that the UN cant solve this problem on its own.

19、We should ban plastic waste completely B Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions. Most of us observed much more as children than
20、we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激)and new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite
21、simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that
22、 we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began to complain about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first. Another block to
23、awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of
24、“time” and “destination”are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed for a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, or to take a moment to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. “Oh, a f
25、ew birds,” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait.
