線が引いてある「a flat of」の意味が良く分かりません…どなたか教えてほしいです…!

5 without touching a keyboar 1 Much of what we eat today comes to our tables from other areas. Today, 1) walking ruch of wil through the aisles of a grocery store is almost like taking a trip around the world: strawberries from Chile and *Asian pears are available in the middle of winter. Americans have come to expect constant variety in their diet, wherever they live, whatever the time of year. This means we must often import our food from around the world. It is important to understand how this affects our Earth. 2 When food has to travel great distances, it is not just *shipping that is expensive; the environmental impact is also costly. For example, the true cost of transporting *a flat of strawberries from Chile to a grocery store in the United States must also take into account the *manpower, *fossil fuel consumption, and *carbon emissions. 3 The phrase "food miles" means the number of miles a product must travel in order to reach the consumer. A flat of strawberries from Chile *shipped to Ohio has traveled more "food miles" than a flat from California. Measuring food impact on the Earth must also take into account weather (strawberries grown in *hothouses have a bigger *carbon footprint than those grown in sunlight) and transportation type (*ocean freighters use less fuel than aircraft). "Food miles" are a rough but crucial calculation el than airc #5082 5) of the environmental impact of our foods.

when poor environmental health and reduced quality of life are actually good for the economy の理由が 低下した自然サービスと戦うために必要な活動や製品がGDPを増大させるから な... 続きを読む

第3・4段落 1So how do we reconcile our economy with ecology? The Earth provides us with essential natural services like air and water purification and climate stability, but these aren't part of our economy because we've always assumed such things are free. 3But natural services are only free when the ecosystems that maintain them are healthy. 4Today, with our growing population and increasing demands on ecosystems, we're degrading them more and more. Unfortunately, remedial activities and products like air filters, bottled water, eye drops and other things we need to combat degraded services all add to the GDP, which economists call growth. Something is terribly wrong with our economic system when poor environmental health and reduced quality of life are actually good for the economy! 「それでは,私たちはどのようにして経済と環境の折り合いをつけるのだろうか。 地球は空 気や水の浄化、気候の安定性といった必要不可欠な自然のサービスを提供してくれるが,私た ちはこれまでずっとそういうものは無料だと思い込んでいたので,それらは経済の一部とはな っていない。 しかし、自然のサービスが無料なのは, それを維持する生態系が健全なときだけなのであ る。 4今日,人口が増加し生態系への負担が高まるにつれ,私たちは生態系をますます傷つけて いる。 5残念なことに, 環境改善のための活動や製品,たとえばエアフィルター, ボトル入りの 水,目薬や質が低下したサービスに対処するために私たちが必要とするその他のものはすべ て GDPを増加させるが, それを経済学者は成長と呼ぶ。 環境が不健全になり、生活の質が低 下していることが実は経済にとってよいことなら、私たちの経済システムは何かがひどく間違 っているのである。 □ecology 「環境,生態」 2□essential 「必要不可欠な」 □ stability 「安定性」 30ecosystem 「生態系」 4 demand on A 「A への要求, 負担」 □ purification 「浄化」 □ climate 「気候」 □ free 「無料の」 | degrade 「を悪化させる, の質を低下させる」 99
