116"With the growth of global networks in such areas as economics and communication, there is no doubt that every aspect of society—including education, politics, the arts, and the sciences—will benefit greatly from international influences."

135"While most of the environmental problems we face result from the use of technology, society must depend upon technology to find solutions to these problems."

149"The most practical and effective way to protect wilderness areas is to attract more tourists to these areas through environmentally sensitive projects."

121"At various times in the geological past, many species have become extinct as a result of natural, rather than human, processes. Thus, there is no justification for society to make extraordinary efforts, especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangered species."

83"Government should preserve publicly owned wilderness areas in their natural state, even though these areas are often extremely remote and thus accessible to only a few people."

242"Societies should try to save every plant and animal species, regardless of the expense to humans in effort, time, and financial well-being."

233"Although innovations such as video, computers, and the Internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students, these technologies all too often distract from real learning."

好色鹦鹉被新西兰总理任命为“政府发言鸟”

     日前在YouTube爆红的好色鸟赛洛克，至今被总理任命为官方发言鸟，希望世人能透过它了解环境议题。

　　据台湾“今日新闻网”4日报道，一只在新西兰十分出名的鹦鹉“赛洛克”，因为它曾在一个纪录片中把摄影师的头当雌性鹦鹉来骑而红遍YouTube。至今，连新西兰总理约翰.基都任命它为“政府发言鸟”，希望它能激起人们的环保意识。

　　塞洛克是新西兰特有的鹦鹉物种“枭鹦鹉”，目前全世界仅有124只。2009年，英国动物学家马克.卡沃丁与作家史蒂芬.弗莱共同拍摄纪录片《最后一眼》时，塞洛克正处于发情期，所以他就把卡沃丁的头发当成了雌鹦鹉，尝试与其交配。那次意外事件被上传到YouTube后，就吸引了数十万网友的点击，使得塞洛克一夕爆红。

　　总理约翰.基表示，塞洛克这种稀奇的鸟类，正好是保护栖息地的理想大使，而且它在全世界都有粉丝，所以它更有资格成为新西兰的官方发言鸟。它可以大声地讲出有关环境的议题，让人们渐渐透过它了解这世界发生了什么事情。
