有一档英语播客，是来自Sam Harris的Making Sense。在最近一期和两位嘉宾讨论了食物，气候和流行病的风险，其中让我印象最深刻的是一句来自嘉宾的话“要生成我们所吃的鸡的一卡路里热量，需要喂养提供9卡路里热量的植物饲料，而猪肉和牛肉需要的更多，从动物身上摄入热量相较直接从植物摄入热量效率低下，因为要从动物身上产生同样的热量，需要提供多倍的植物饲料喂养，造成这样的结果是需要更多的土地和水，以及化肥。饲养动物所带来的环境问题更是多方面的，而近几年的肉类消费大幅度提高，使解决相关问题迫在眉睫。在这一期的播客里，Sam Harris和嘉宾都提倡多食用素食，减少肉制品的消耗。在前两期的节目里，我也对为什么要制造肉味的素食提出了质疑，现在看来，这也是我一时的偏见，希望以后有更多的机会对自己的观点提出质疑，进而修正自己的想法。

环保话题一直热度不减，这不仅仅是一时引起骚动的热门新闻，更因为它跟我们每个人的生活息息相关，这次我联系到了我的一个高中同学，从一个普通人的角度谈谈她是如何开始关注环保，而后改变自己生活习惯的过程。

In a recent episode of Sam Harris’ Making Sense podcast, with two guests discussing food, climate and epidemic risk, one of the things that stood out to me was this quote: "To generate one calorie from the chicken we eat, we need to feed a plant-based diet that provides 9 calories. Pork and beef require more, and calorie intake from animals is less efficient than direct calorie intake from plants, because to generate the same amount of calories from animals, you need to feed infinitely more plants, resulting in more land and water, fertilizer usage.” The environmental problems associated with animal raising are even more multifaceted, and the dramatic increase in meat consumption in recent years has made it urgent to address related issues. In this episode of his podcast, both Sam Harris and his guests advocate for a more vegetarian-based nutrition. In the previous two episodes, I also questioned why meat-flavored vegetarian food should be created, which now seems to be a momentary bias on my part, and I hope to have more opportunities to question my views and thus adjust my thoughts in the future.

The topic of environmental protection has always been a hot topic, not only because of all the controversy around it, but also because it is closely related to everyone's life. This time I contacted one of my high school classmates to talk about how she became concerned about environmental preservation and then changed her entire life habits.
