Cultural Notes 文化註釋

美國的環境保護運動 (conservation movement) 早在羅斯福執政期間 (Theodore Roosevelt's administration 1901~1909) 就受到重視,隨着環境保護運動影響的擴大,得到公衆的廣泛信任與支持,導致20世紀60年代和70年代一系列聯邦法規的出臺,如1970年的《清潔空氣法》(Clean Air Act) ,1972年的《水污染控制法》(Water Pollution Control Act) ,1973年的《瀕臨滅絕物種保護法》(Endangered Species Act)等。?
美國各州都有自己的法規,例如:一些州已禁止亂扔瓶罐,禁止在肥皂中使用磷酸鹽,禁止傾倒工業垃圾。到1986年,已有40個州,80多個城市通過了某種形式的法規,限制在公共場合或上班時吸菸。?
在1965年初,國會通過了一項法規,要求在香菸包裝上印上警告。這一做法,僅在幾年後就被其它國家採納、效仿。?
公衆對污染問題的關注,已成爲美國人生活的一部分,就連爲大家所熟知的可口可樂飲料罐(Coca Cola can) 也受到影響。今天,按法律要求,罐必須做成頂部的拉環(the rings on top) 不能脫離罐被扔掉。?
