现代人的环境意识越来越关注于原本看不见的空气,因为我们周围的空气已经由透明变为可视。置身于人烟如织的城市,放眼望去,视线立即被灰幕拦截,同时受到阻碍的还有我们的呼吸。空气失去了“空”的涵义,我们知道,是人类活动排放的垃圾充塞其间,使空气不再为空。 眼下流行的环保观念乍看起来常闪现出物性论或泛爱主义的光辉,比如爱小动物,比如素食主义,比如拒绝使用一次性物品。略去中间繁复的理论演绎,说到底,只是人害怕自身灭绝而向人类全体发出的呼救。 环保也不是很新的话题。几年前,受书名吸引,我在一个旧书摊上买到了一本《寂静的春天》,翻阅之中,知道是一本关于环境问题的译著,后来在一些资料里得知是一份发表于六十年代、当时在西方极有影响的环境科普著作。最近,从新书讯中看到这本书中文版再版的消息,但我着实担心,它再遭沦落旧书摊的命运。 应该承认,发达国家是现代环保意识的先知先觉者,现代环保观念也是由西向东、由北向南、由发达国家向欠发达国家铺陈开来的。总的说来,发达国家对欠发达国家落后的环保意识很是愤怒,因为欠发达国家发展迟缓的工业正在污染环境,因为它们的政府对这种为生存而进行的环境破坏置若罔闻,因为它们的人民还梦 The environmental awareness of the modern people is paying more and more attention to the invisible air because the air around us has been changed from transparent to visible. Exposure to the smoke-blown city, looking ahead, immediate attention was intercepted by the gray screen, while being hindered and our breath. Air has lost the meaning of “empty”, and we know that it is the waste of human activities that is stuffed with air so that the air is no longer empty. At the first glance, the popular concept of environmental protection flashes the glow of philistinism or pan-love, such as loving animals such as vegetarianism, such as refusing to use disposable items. In the final analysis, it is only the help of people who are afraid of their own extinction and sent out to all mankind. Environmental protection is not a very new topic. A few years ago, attracted by her book title, I bought an “Still Spring” from an old bookstore and read through it. I knew it was a translation of environmental issues and I later learned in some sources Published in the 1960s, was very influential in the West environmental science books. Recently I read the news from the new book to see the reprint of the Chinese version of the book. However, I am really worried that it will suffer the fate of the old book stall again. It should be admitted that the developed countries are pioneers of modern environmental protection awareness. The concept of modern environmental protection is also developed from the developed countries to the less developed countries from west to east, from north to south. In general, the developed countries are angry at the backward environmental awareness of underdeveloped countries because the industries that are sluggish in underdeveloped countries are polluting the environment because their governments are turning a deaf ear to such environmental destruction for survival, People still dream
