問題詳情:
A. The success story was traced back to the 1960s, when Vancouver decided not to build highways.
B. Today, around 50 percent of journeys in Vancouver are made through sustainable means.
C. Vancouver now boasts some of the lowest carbon emissions in the world.
D. Tree planting proves an effective way in reducing the emission of carbon.
E. The city planner knew that green transportation had to be a big part of the solution.
F. Carbon dioxide is the major source of air pollution in big cities in Canada.
In many big cities around, gas-powered vehicles are one of the biggest sources of carbon emissions. Therefore, the Canadian city of Vancouver set ambitious goals of reducing its carbon footprint. 52
The city has managed a near-miraculous transformation. 53 among them cycling, walking, or using public transit have become common forms of transportation. The city once set a goal that by 2020, ten percent of all commutes would take place on bikes. It hit that goal three years early.
54 They city remains the only major North American city with no highways within city limits, says Brent Toderian, Vancouver’s former chief planner. Instead of building a bridge across English Bay, the city chose to create a ferry service.
Today, walking, cycling and public transit all link up so that Vancouver citizens can travel Car-free quite easily. Cycling is the fastest-growing mode of transport in the city. Because almost a quarter of all bike lanes are separated from traffic lanes, people can ride their bikes without having to share their roads with cars and trucks.
In addition to building cycling infrastructure and promoting public transit, Vancouver has also incorporated dozens of electric dozens of the electric cars in its municipal fleet. According to Sadhu Johnston, the city manager, “If we can all drive an electric car, it’s much better for air quality in the city,” he explains.
55 its story shows that small efforts eventually make big difference. It reminds us of an old proverb: The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Perhaps more cities should follow Vancouver’s example and begin a serious push to promote sustainable transport right away.
