Cultural Notes 文化注釋
美國(guó)的環(huán)境保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng) (conservation movement) 早在羅斯福執(zhí)政期間 (Theodore Roosevelt's administration 1901～1909) 就受到重視，隨著環(huán)境保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng)影響的擴(kuò)大，得到公眾的廣泛信任與支持，導(dǎo)致20世紀(jì)60年代和70年代一系列聯(lián)邦法規(guī)的出臺(tái)，如1970年的《清潔空氣法》(Clean Air Act) ，1972年的《水污染控制法》(Water Pollution Control Act) ，1973年的《瀕臨滅絕物種保護(hù)法》(Endangered Species Act)等。?
美國(guó)各州都有自己的法規(guī)，例如：一些州已禁止亂扔瓶罐，禁止在肥皂中使用磷酸鹽，禁止傾倒工業(yè)垃圾。到1986年，已有40個(gè)州，80多個(gè)城市通過(guò)了某種形式的法規(guī)，限制在公共場(chǎng)合或上班時(shí)吸煙。?
在1965年初，國(guó)會(huì)通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)法規(guī)，要求在香煙包裝上印上警告。這一做法，僅在幾年后就被其它國(guó)家采納、效仿。?
公眾對(duì)污染問(wèn)題的關(guān)注，已成為美國(guó)人生活的一部分，就連為大家所熟知的可口可樂(lè)飲料罐(Coca Cola can) 也受到影響。今天，按法律要求，罐必須做成頂部的拉環(huán)(the rings on top) 不能脫離罐被扔掉。?

Cultural Notes 文化注釋
美國(guó)的環(huán)境保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng) (conservation movement) 早在羅斯福執(zhí)政期間 (Theodore Roosevelt's administration 1901～1909) 就受到重視，隨著環(huán)境保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng)影響的擴(kuò)大，得到公眾的廣泛信任與支持，導(dǎo)致20世紀(jì)60年代和70年代一系列聯(lián)邦法規(guī)的出臺(tái)，如1970年的《清潔空氣法》(Clean Air Act) ，1972年的《水污染控制法》(Water Pollution Control Act) ，1973年的《瀕臨滅絕物種保護(hù)法》(Endangered Species Act)等。?
美國(guó)各州都有自己的法規(guī)，例如：一些州已禁止亂扔瓶罐，禁止在肥皂中使用磷酸鹽，禁止傾倒工業(yè)垃圾。到1986年，已有40個(gè)州，80多個(gè)城市通過(guò)了某種形式的法規(guī)，限制在公共場(chǎng)合或上班時(shí)吸煙。?
在1965年初，國(guó)會(huì)通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)法規(guī)，要求在香煙包裝上印上警告。這一做法，僅在幾年后就被其它國(guó)家采納、效仿。?
公眾對(duì)污染問(wèn)題的關(guān)注，已成為美國(guó)人生活的一部分，就連為大家所熟知的可口可樂(lè)飲料罐(Coca Cola can) 也受到影響。今天，按法律要求，罐必須做成頂部的拉環(huán)(the rings on top) 不能脫離罐被扔掉。?
