How can we recycle water at home?

Summary:

Seen from space, our planet looks blue. This is because almost 70 percent of Earth's surface is covered with water, and all water is connected. Every raindrop, lake, underground river and glacier is part of a single global well. And also, water has the power to change everything --- a single splash can grow foods, provide a habitat, and sustain life. How we treat the water in the well will affect every species on the planet, now and for future. The book One Well shows how every one of us has the power to conserve and protect our global well. And inspire us to be better global citizens.

從太空看，地球是藍色的。那是因為地球表面有約70 ％被海洋所覆蓋，且所有的水資源皆息息相關。每滴雨水、湖泊、地下河和冰川都是井的一部分；「水」可以為地球帶來光彩的生機，也擁有著可以改變世界的力量。這本書除了教導我們關於水的知識，也引領我們去思考如何保護這份珍貴的資源，鼓勵大家成為全球好公民。

Summary:

Razia is excited when her grandfather tells her there's a school for girls being built in their Afghan village. At last, girls will have the same opportunity to be educated as boys. ?Every night I fell asleep dreaming about going to school like my brothers, ? she says. Her grandfather wants Razia to enroll in the school. He remembers a time, before the wars and the Taliban, when educated women in Afghanistan became doctors, government workers and journalists, and how this made families and the country stronger. Razia knows, however, that she will need permission from her father and her oldest brother, Aziz, in order to be allowed to attend the school. She begs her grandfather, ?Please, Baba gi, ask Baba and Aziz if I may go. I must go.? But will her grandfather's words be enough to convince the younger men of the value of an education for Razia?

當拉齊雅的祖父告訴她，他們阿富汗村莊裡正在建造一所女孩學校時，她感到非常興奮。她說，「每晚我都會做夢，夢想著像我的兄弟一樣去上學。」她的祖父希望拉齊雅能夠入學。他記得在阿富汗戰爭和塔利班時期之前，受過教育的女性成為了醫生、政府工作者和記者，這使得家庭和整個國家更加強大。然而，拉齊雅知道，她需要得到父親和大哥的許可，才能被允許去上學。她懇求她的祖父：「請祖父問問父親和大哥是否可以讓我去。我必須去。」但是，她的祖父的話是否足以說服年輕人認為女孩子受教育很有價值，這還不確定。

Summary:

As a young girl growing up in Kenya, Wangari was surrounded by trees. But years later, when she returns home, she is shocked to see whole forests being cut down, and she knows that all the trees will soon be destroyed. So Wangari decides to do something and starts planting nine seedlings in her backyard. And as they grow, so do her plans…

This true story of Wangari Maathai, environmentalist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, is a shining example of how one woman’s passion, vision, and determination inspired great change.

萬格麗．瑪泰在充滿綠意的非洲肯亞長大。但幾年後，當她留學歸國，卻驚訝地發現森林中許多樹都被砍下，且再過不久可能整個森林都會消失。所以她決定要做些什麼，開始在她的後院種下九株小苗。當這些小樹苗長大，她的計畫也跟著擴大了……

這是一個關於環保鬥士萬格麗．瑪泰的故事。非洲肯亞，曾經在短短幾年內遭到濫砍，變得一片荒蕪。一九七七年世界環境日，萬格麗．瑪泰在肯亞發起綠帶運動，以行動鼓勵婦女種植樹木，她深信找回土地的繁茂便是和平的基礎。此運動的影響力不斷擴大，綠意漸漸回到肯亞的土地。而萬格麗．瑪泰也在二ＯＯ四年獲得諾貝爾和平獎。本書不僅僅敘述萬格麗的努力與環境保護的觀念，更展現一位女性環保鬥士的熱情、願景與決心，與其帶來的巨大影響。
