绿色标签 (Green Label/Eco-label)

　　市面上有不少自称环保的产品或是贴有绿色标签的产品，究竟消费者应如何理解这些标签的意义？

可循环再生(Recyclable)
　　其实，除了有机废物外，大部份物品都是可循环再生，最重要是大家肯不肯拿去回收。大家不妨留意，现时很多胶制产品都印有「可循环再生」的标签及分类。

己循环再生(Recycled)
　　己循环再生即曾利用旧物料生产，但这种旧物材料并不是一定回收得来的。一些市场上的剩余材料、次等材料物品都可以经再造后称为「已循环再生」。

不损臭氧层(Ozone-Friendly)
　　于蒙特利尔(Montreal)会议后，现时发售的大部份产品都不含CFC了(除了少部分第三世界国家产品)，自然也无损臭氧层。

不损环境(Environmental-Friendly)
一种笼统的描述，必须配合认可的客观程序才有意义，如认可的「绿色标签」。

生物降解(Biodegradable)
　　 生物降解常用于胶制品，经细菌生化作用后，加快塑胶、泡沬胶在泥土中分解。理论上比较环保，但却会诱发消费者增加垃圾。

不用动物实验(No Animal Test)
　　 在护肤化妆品、医疗用品常见的宣传，不利用动物来试验产品的成效。

　　以下是一些绿色标签资料：

标签图型 Label Logo		国家 Nation	标签名称 Label Name
		德国 Germany	蓝天使 Blue Angel
		加拿大 Canada	环保选择 Environmental Choice
		日本 Japan	环保标记 Environment Label
		北欧理事会 Coordinating	白天鹅 Nordic Swan
		新西兰 New Zealand	环保选择 Environment Choice
		欧洲联盟 Union of Europe	环保标记 Environment Label
		新加坡 Singapore	绿色标记 Green Label

回家途中 As I Walking Home
　　 It was drizzling while I was walking home after school. In the spring rain, I was walking alone on the country road. The world was so quiet, so quiet that I could almost hear the sound made by the rain.
  
   　　The dirzzle was soft. So gentle that I was sure to be held by silk. The mountains in the distance looked hazy and the thatched cottages stood quietly on the farm. The mountains and the thatched cottages together became a beautiful paint. And I was looking at this beautiful picture as I was walking home.
  
   　　A farmer was working on the farm. He was so hard that he would never know it was him that made the picture more vividly.
  
   　　A skylark was singing in the tree. Her beautiful song was full of melody. It seemed that she was happy to meet me, a stranger, who was walking home after a tiring day.
  
   　　A young kid with smiling face was playing with a hopper in the drizzle. It seemed that he wasn´t worried about the rain, or maybe I would say it was the drizzle that he had a really good time with the hopper.
  
   　　Suddenly, the wind blew hard, and it blew my umbrella upside down. I could do nothing but hold the broken umbrella, and ran home quickly. No more beautiful pictures, no more beautiful poems, I just kept running and running till I found I was in the practical world.
  
   　　Hi, men. Did you have the same experience? The same experience in the drizzle, on a country road as mine? It must be so different from the life of yours in the big city. I love it, and I won´t forget forever I was walking home in drizzle, on a country road.
  
   　　当我放学走路回家时，正下着绵绵细雨。在这春雨中，我独自走在这条乡村道路上。四周是如此安静，如此地安静，以致于我几乎可以听见下雨的声音。
  
   　　细雨如此地温柔，如此温柔，就好像温柔的丝绸拥抱着我。远处的山灰濛濛，农田中静静地站着茅草屋。山和茅屋构成一幅美丽的图画。就在我回家的时候，我凝视这般美丽的景色。
  
   　　有一个农夫在田里面工作。他是这么样认真，所以他绝不会知道就是他才使得这幅画更加生动。
  
   　　树上一只云雀在唱歌。她的歌声优美动人。好像她很高兴与我这一位疲倦了一天正要回家的陌生人相遇。
  
   　　一个小孩子正在雨中和一只青蛙玩。他好像不怎么在意下雨，或者也许我该说是雨才让他跟青蛙玩得那么开心。
  
   　　突然，一阵强风吹来，风把我的雨伞吹翻了。除了拿着破雨伞之外，我別无他法，只好赶快跑回家。不再有漂亮的图画了，不再有美丽的诗了，我只能不断地跑呀跑，直到我发觉我又回到現实的世界来。
  
   　　嗨，各位.你有相同的经验吗，和我一样在雨中，在一条乡村道路上的相同经验吗？它必定和你在大城市的生活大不相同吧。我爱它，我永远忘不掉在乡村的路上，在绵绵细雨中，我正要走上回家路。
