When I saw the first snowfall on the night of Dec 7, 2006, I almost cried. I had been longing for snow since my paddling season was over. I have planned many winter activities on my calendar and shaken off the dust on my ski boots. However, the first snowfall hasn’t gotten any followers. Maybe now it’s time to cry. This winter has been very odd – oddly warm. Therefore we have been skating, biking, rock climbing, and I almost went kayaking in December. It was great to be out, and it was fine not to have a white Christmas. I just don’t feel funny anymore when I recalled the story told by a friend from New Zealand that on their Christmas cards Santa either enjoys his sun bath in beach shorts or rides a dolphin and races with a shark. 去年十二月七日的夜晚，費城的第一場雪，我望著霧茫茫的街景，差點流淚。在宣告獨木舟季節結束的那天起，我就在期待這一刻。冬天的行事曆上，已經排滿了活動，滑雪靴上的灰塵也早已撢除乾淨了。但那場雪過後，費城的街道尚未再嘗過雪的味道，莫非，現在才是真該掉淚的時候？ 這個冬季，很古怪，古怪地暖和。所以我們還是溜直排輪、還是騎腳踏車、還是攀岩、還是有人邀請我去划獨木舟。到外頭玩兒，就算是溜達，也是舒服，我也不是非要個白色聖誕不可。但是現在，每當我一回想起，那來自紐西蘭的朋友，告訴我，他們那兒的聖誕卡上，聖誕老公公不是穿著泳衣在沙灘上做日光浴，就是騎著海豚跟鯊魚競速的時候，不再覺得有趣起來。 Read More…

Bush’s refusal on signing the Kyoto treaty has provoked not only the environmentalists but also the whole world. Reacting upon the pressure, Bush presented an alternative – to put more efforts and budget on new technologies. However, he is still strongly against any Kyoto-style protocol because it hurts “our [American] economy.” When I read Read More…

As obesity has become a widespread problem, airlines right now would watch the size of passengers in addition to that of their luggage.
I found it interesting and especially surprising that obesity can be linked to the environment so closely when I read the article “The Fat of the Air” in the latest AMC Read More…

Every other week, the city of Philadelphia collects recycling material from the streets. Recycling is a good thing, but what bothers me is that the city does not recycle everything, at least “plastic” is not on the list. It seems to be a natural idea to recycle plastic; at least, my guests usually throw Read More…
