[電影] Bigger, Stronger, Faster*

SIFF 免費票去 Pacific Place Cinema 看這 documentary. 結果臨時要做其他工作. 現在只好等 DVD 了…

“We play to win in America with our use of performance enhancers, but at what cost? First-time feature filmmaker Christopher Bell's intensely personal documentary blends investigative work, interviews, home video, news pieces, and retro-styled animation into a sophisticated and entertaining argument that asks the tough questions about body perception, performance enhancement, and competition in America.”

Convergence Zone

Snohomish County 已經習慣這種”不平等待遇”. 我們那頭的雨水永遠比 King County 多那許多.

今天早上搭車去西雅圖市中心上班. 在 Park & Ride 時是個冷, 多雲到晴的天氣. 就在經過 King / Snohomish County Line 時(約 I-5 178 號出口), 只見狂風冰雹加雨夾雪. 能見度瞬間降低. 所有的車子慢了下來.

約兩英哩後, 到了 Shoreline 的出口(約 I-5 176 號出口). 只見太陽公公從雲裡露出. 再往南看還有片片的籃天. 往北看就是一片的黑壓壓的烏雲.

天堂和地獄就是那麼的一線之隔!!!

原來紙一點也不環保

'Paper or plastic?' The eco-friendly answer is 'Neither – reusable': 這是去年 The San Francisco Chronicle 上的一個報導.

“”If you're comparing a paper bag made from virgin timber with a plastic bag made with natural gas, the paper bag causes more global warming pollution, more biodiversity impacts and more water impacts,” said Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist with NRDC who has worked on life cycle analyses for two decades. “If the paper bag is not recycled, it will generate greater carbon emissions during incineration than plastic would, or greater methane emissions if it is landfilled.””

不管是塑膠袋還是紙袋, 製造或回收重新的再造過程, 都會造成污染. 重點是重復的使用, 才是真正的環保.
