Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital.
You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of

小型摩托space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the

Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea

Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury () member during the Amsterdam 评审员Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.
She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have
come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle.
Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an
app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don't know.”
Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now
planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,”Boerma, the senior major,
says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the
eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that's good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”

Because the area where they lived was surrounded by developed cities and desert landscapes, the Quinos had limited options. They took off anyway, flying eastward into the
hills. They landed in mountainous open spaces east of Los Angeles and San Diego. They
found no dwarf plantains there. The females began laying their eggs on the leaves of other
plants, primarily the Collinsia concolor. These plants remained green longer into the summer
months. When the caterpillars Quinos survived, and their numbers grew in their new home.
Scientists were surprised when they began encountering innumerous Qunios in the eastern hills. They were cheered to learn that these small insects had adapted to changing
conditions. The Quinos demonstrated the toughness needed to survive by finding not only a
new habitat, but a new food source, too.
Meanwhile, scientists had been raising Quino caterpillars in a lab and released hundreds
of caterpillars into protected areas around San Diego. Between the efforts of scientists and
the butterflies' own actions, more of those colorfully checkered wings may soon be seen
fluttering above the Southern California skies.

Blue Planet II's latest episode () focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effect 情节on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also foundthat sea
creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their
stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics, plastics are a
remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same
decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has
happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research,
for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated
to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones,
are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake
plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of
seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to
100 percent.
And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see
ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breathas climate change. But ocean
plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers ,
at )(否认者least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet
