But now that everyone from Ted Turner to George H. W. Bush has claimed love for Mother Earth, how are we to choose among the dozens of conflicting proposals, regulations and laws advanced by congressmen and constituents alike in the name of the environment? Clearly, not everything with an environmental claim is worth doing. How do we segregate the best options and consolidate our varying interests into a single, sound policy? 　　1.在上流社会，对环境的敏感就如同信仰民主、反对整容⼀样，是⼀种不可或缺的态度。然⽽，既然从泰德•特纳到乔治•W.H.布什，每个⼈都 声称⾃⼰热爱地球母亲，那么，在由议员、选民之类的⼈以环境名义⽽提出的众多的相互⽭盾的提案、规章和法规中，我们⼜该如何做出选择呢? 显⽽易见，并不是每⼀项冠以环境保护名义的事情都值得去做。我们怎样才能分离出最佳选择，并且把我们各⾃不同的兴趣统⼀在同⼀个合理的政 策当中呢? 　　2.There is a simple way. First, differentiate between environmental luxuries and environmental necessities. Luxuries are those things that would be nice to have if costless. Necessities are those things we must have regardless. Call this distinction the definitive rule of sane environmentalism, which stipulates that combating ecological change that directly threatens the health and safety of people is an environmental necessity. All else is luxury. 　　2.有⼀种简便的⽅法。⾸先要区分什么是环境奢侈品，什么是环境必需品。奢侈品是指那些⽆需⼈类付出代价就能拥有的给⼈美好感受的东 西。必需品则是指那些⽆论付出什么代价，都⼀定要去拥有的东西。这⼀区分原则可以被称为理性环保主义的⾄⾼原则。它规定，对那些直接威胁 ⼈类健康与安全的⽣态变化采取应对措施是环境保护的必需品，⽽其他则都属于奢侈品。 　　3.For example, preserving the atmosphere - stopping ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect - is an environmental necessity. Recently, scientists reported that ozone damage is far worse than previously thought. Ozone depletion has a correlation not only with skin cancer and eye problems, it also destroys the oceans ecology, the beginning of the food chain atop which we humans sit. 　　3.例如，保护⼤⽓层—— 阻⽌臭氧损耗及控制温室效应——
