Steven
Stein likes to follow garbage strange habit makes
sense
when you consider that
he
’
s an environmental
scientist who studies how to reduce
litter,including things that fall off
garbage trucks as they drive down the is
even more interesting is that one of
Stein
’
s jobs is defending an
industry behind the
plastic shopping
bag.
Americans use more than
100 billion thin film plastic bags every
many end up in tree branches or along
highways that a growing number of cities do
not allow them at
checkouts(
收银台
).The bags are
prohibited in some 90 cities in
California,including Los these
headwinds,plastic-bag makers are
hiring
scientists like Stein to make the case that their
products are not as bad for the
planet
as most people assume.
Among
the bag makers
’
arguments:many cities with bans still allow
shoppers to purchase paper bags,which
are easily recycled but require more energy
to produce and while plastic bags may
be ugly to look at,they
represent a
small percentage of all garbage on the ground
today.
The industry has also
taken aim at the product that has appeared as its
replacement:reusable shopping stronger
a reusable bag is,the longer its
life
and the more plastic-bag use it cancels r,longer-
lasting reusable
bags often require
more energy to study found that a cotton bag must
be
used at least 131 times to be better
for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists
don
’
t
dispute(
质疑
) these hope
paper bags
will be banned someday too
and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags
for
years.

What horrors hide in our subconscious
(
潜意识
)?According to a new
French
study on sleep-
talking,researchers found the most commonly used
word is
“
no
”
,and the French swearword (
骂人的话
)
“
putain
”
occurred,reports
the New
York
Times,
“
800 times more often
in sleep than when
awake
”
.The study also
found that men sleep-talked more than
women and used more swearwords.
Sleep-talking is a form of sleep
disorders.
“
In my
experience,it can be linked
to the
nervous system being overactive,which can be
related to the overuse of
technology
before bed or too much
coffee,
”
says Dr
Nerina.
“
But these sorts of
behaviours can happen with people who
are quite hard on
’
re
perfectionists,but they often hold back
on saying what they really want to
they go to bed at night,it comes out
into the sleep.
”
The idea that you can find
someone
’
s deepest secrets
while they are asleep
is are apps that
record can you admit to a murder
in
your sleep?Or to having a lover? suggests we
shouldn
’
t read too
much into what is
said.
“
Sleep-talking tends to
occur in very light sleep,
”
he
-talking isn
’
t
related to dreaming but to the lighter
’
s really the
wanderings of a rather confused
mind.
”
It is much
more common in children,and the majority of people
grow out of it.
“
Anxiety and
stress tend to bring it on,
”
says Horne.
“
Sleep-talkers
are generally
reflecting some sort of
aspect of a worry.I think
it
’
s best not to place too
much
concern on sleep-talking and not
take the words said by someone
seriously.
”
However,sleep-talking might tell you
one e who often does it is
probably
quite anxious and it might be a good idea to find
out what is worrying them.
