27、or Veena Sahajwalla, 2022 Australian of the year, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories. These little trash processors (处理器) some as small as 500 square feet house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with thermal technology.

28、 The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust. In 2018 she launched the first microfactory, establishing a model of recycling that enables businesses and communities to develop commercial opportunities while addressing local waste problems. A second one began r

29、ecycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented Microfactory technology. “The small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants.

30、proach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission journeys between recycling processors and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to collect and store materials, ex

31、tract (提取) elements and produce new products,” says Sahajwalla. Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products like melting down plastic to make more plastic things. Sahajwallas invention advances this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating some

32、thing different. “The kids dont look like the parents,” she says. Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R.” adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, reuse, recycle”.

37、hown to be only half true, or even completely false. 36 Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones. Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, peop

38、le think paper bags are the better environmental choice. However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. 37 In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping. 38

39、 It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. 39 It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. I

40、n some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away even taking into account its transport. Its better to take a shower than a bath. 40 If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, youll use as much water as in a bath abo

42、s not that simple.D. Eating local food is good for the environment.E. The process also produces more greenhouse gases.F. Its time that we took measures to protect our environment.G.
