Many everyday tasks take a surprising toll on the environment. A Google search can leak between 0.2 and 0.7 grams of CO 2 , depending on how many attempts are needed to get the right answer. To deliver results to its users quickly, then Google has to maintain vast data centers around the world, packed with powerful computers. While producing large quantities of CO 2 , these computers emit a great deal of heat, so the centers need to be well air-conditioned, which uses even more energy. However, Google and other big tech providers monitor their efficiency closely and make improvements. Monitoring is the first step on the road to reduction, but there is much more to be done, and not just by big companies. （分数：2.00 ） __________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.Sustainability has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability- oriented values must be expressed through everyday action and choice. Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. Hed been through the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency. It didnt go well. It was a really bad move because thats not my passion, says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. I was miserable, I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, Just wait, youll turn the corner, give it some time.
