拯救地球需要我们从“口”做起

There’s a coffee substitute already out on the market: This Miracle Froth is called MUD/WTR. It was invented by a man named Shane Heath, who realized that his regular coffee habit was making him unhappy and set out to devise a low-caffeine alternative: a powdered hot drink made with cacao, salt (Himalayan, of course), cinnamon, turmeric, and lion’s mane. That last one is not literal mane of lion, but a mushroom within the “tooth fungus” family. The sales copy for MUD/WTR says the company added the “tooth mold” for your brain to inspire clarity, creativity, and mood.

近日，市面上已经出现了一种咖啡替代品：一种神奇的“泡沫”——也被称为MUD或WTR。发明者谢恩·希思对自己经常喝咖啡这一行为感到非常不满，于是开始设计一种低咖啡因的咖啡替代品：一种用可可、盐（取自喜马拉雅山的盐）、肉桂、姜黄和狮子鬃毛制成的粉末热饮料。当然啦，最后一个并不是真正的狮子鬃毛，而是一种“牙菌类”蘑菇。MUD/WTR的销售文案中写道，该公司为你的大脑添加了“活力剂”，让它更加清醒，更具有创造力和丰富的情感。

Testers who participated in the tasting said that this kind of artificial "molecular coffee" without coffee beans retains the flavor of traditional coffee, but appropriately reduces the bitterness components in it, which seems to have a better taste.

参与品鉴的测试者表示，这种不含咖啡豆的人造“分子咖啡”保有传统咖啡的风味，却适当减弱了其中的苦味成分，似乎口感更佳。

As the world's population rises, the impact of food on the climate is going up. But it is possible to slow these climate changes through the food we choose to eat.

随着世界人口的增加，粮食对气候的影响正在上升。但是，通过我们选择吃的食物来减缓这些气候变化是可能的。

Food production currently contributes more than one-quarter of all climate change-causing emissions, when you take into account all the steps it takes to get food from field to plate. This includes clearing land to make space for agriculture, making and applying fertilisers, rearing animals and processing, packing and transporting the end result to reach us, the consumers.

如果将食物从田间到餐桌所需的所有步骤都算在内，粮食生产的气体排放已经占据了导致气候变化的所有排放的四分之一以上。这些排放的来源包括清理土地以发展农业，制肥与施肥，畜牧饲养与加工，包装与运输，直到食物最终被送达消费者的餐桌。

An 8oz steak produced in Europe causes 10kg CO2e, on average, whereas the total daily diet of an average global citizen causes about 6kg CO2e per day. Eating 8oz of beef every day is way over our budget. But a microwaved potato and beans leaves plenty of room for eating other food during the day, because it contributes less than 0.5kg CO2e. So focus on adding in lots of climate-friendly foods into your diet, such as vegetables and beans or lentils, which come with a load of health benefits too.

欧洲产的一块8盎司牛排平均会产生10公斤的二氧化碳，而全球公民的日常饮食平均每天会产生约6公斤的二氧化碳。每天吃8盎司的牛肉远远超出了我们的排放预算。但是微波土豆和豆子给其他食物留下了足够的空间，因为它们只贡献不到0.5公斤的二氧化碳。因此，你可以专注于在饮食中加入大量气候友好型食物，如蔬菜、豆类或扁豆，这些食物也带来大量的健康益处。

Many people are surprised to learn that home cooking can add a sizeable chunk to their food climate impacts. Research shows that roasting vegetables in the oven typically more than doubles their climate impacts. Putting the oven on for two hours contributes around 2kg CO2e. An oven-baked potato is far worse than a microwaved one as using the microwave for eight minutes contributes less than 0.1kg CO2e.

许多人也惊讶地发现，烹饪方式会对食物造成的气候影响也很大。研究表明，用烤箱烤蔬菜对气候的影响通常会增加一倍以上。烤箱加热两小时会产生约2kg的二氧化碳。用烤箱烤土豆比用微波炉烤土豆要糟糕得多，因为用微波炉烤8分钟只会产生不到0.1公斤的二氧化碳。

1 Lentils=0.9kg carbon per kg of lentils consumed

1 扁豆 每公斤扁豆消耗0.9公斤碳

Lentils come in several varieties. Green and brown lentils are great for making cold lentil salads, while red lentils do well in soup. You can find lentils both canned and dried.

扁豆有好几种。绿扁豆和棕扁豆可以用来做扁豆沙拉，而红扁豆可以用来做汤。你可以购买罐装扁豆或干扁豆。

2 Tomatoes=1.1kg carbon per kg of tomatoes consumed

2 西红柿 每千克西红柿消耗1.1千克碳

Tomatoes may be one of the easiest plants to grow at home, but whether you grow or buy them, they have countless uses.

西红柿可能是最容易在家里种植的植物之一，但无论你是种植还是购买它们，它们都有无数的用途。

3 Dry Beans=2kg carbon per kg of dry beans consumed

3 干豆子=每千克干豆子消耗2千克碳

Dry beans are a great, affordable bulk food to keep in your pantry. After an overnight soak and a rinse, they’re ready to cook.

干豆是易于储存的一种价廉物美的散装食品。经过一夜的浸泡和冲洗，它们就可以烹饪了。

4 Tofu=2kg carbon per kg of tofu consumed

4 豆腐=每千克豆腐消耗2千克碳

Tofu is one of the most versatile plant proteins, and it takes on most any flavor or seasoning it’s given. You can eat it baked, blended, crumbled and scrambled, or even eaten raw. (Tofu comes from soy, so keep in mind that if it isn’t organic or certified non-GMO, then it was made using GMO soy.)

豆腐是一种拥有极多烹饪方式的植物蛋白质，你可以用任何调味料来烹饪它。你可以烤着吃，和别的食物混在一起吃，弄碎或者炒着吃，甚至生吃。(豆腐来自大豆，所以请记住，如果它不是有机的或非转基因认证，那么它是用转基因大豆制成的。)

5 Broccoli=2kg carbon per kg of broccoli consumed

5 西兰花=每千克西兰花消耗2千克碳

Broccoli is delicious both raw and cooked. It makes a nutritious snack at any time of day and an excellent side to just about any dish.

生的和熟的西兰花都很好吃。它是营养丰富的零食，也是任何菜肴的绝佳配菜。

6 Nuts=2.3kg carbon per kg of nuts consumed

6 坚果=每千克坚果消耗2.3千克碳

Nuts are another nutrient-dense food to keep on hand. They make a great snack food, but you can also use them to make nut milk, mix them into oatmeal, sprinkle them onto salads, or use them to make dairy-free cheese.

坚果是另一种营养丰富的食物。它们是一种很棒的零食，但你也可以用它们来制作坚果奶，混合在燕麦片里，撒在沙拉上，或者用它们来制作不含乳制品的奶酪。

7 Rice=2.7kg carbon per kg of rice consumed

7 大米=每千克大米消耗2.7千克碳 

Rice is a low-cost grain that complements many simple meals, such as stir-fries, curries, burritos, and cooked beans. It’s also a key ingredient in rice pudding, homemade veggie burgers, and sushi.

大米是一种低成本的谷物，可以作为许多简餐的补充，如炒菜、咖喱、墨西哥卷饼和煮豆子。它也是米布丁、自制蔬菜汉堡和寿司的关键原料。

8 Potatoes=2.9kg carbon per kg of potatoes consumed

8 土豆 每公斤土豆消耗2.9公斤碳

Potatoes are great mashed, roasted, or air-fried. Twice-baked potatoes loaded with veggies can even be the star of the meal. Leave the skin on for added nutrients.

土豆泥、烤土豆或炸土豆都很好吃。配蔬菜的烤过两次的土豆甚至可以成为主菜。不要去皮，这样可以补充营养。
