《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》對(duì)此做了詳細(xì)分析報(bào)道，我們一起來(lái)了解一下
Cotton bags have become a means for brands, retailers and supermarkets totelegraph a planet-friendly mind-set無(wú)紡布CT袋—or, at least, to show that the companies are aware of the overuse of plastic in packaging. (There was a brief lull in cotton tote useduring the pandemic, when there were fears that reusable bags could harbor the virus, but they are now fully back in force.)
環(huán)保袋已成為品牌、零售商和超市傳達(dá)對(duì)地球友好的態(tài)度的一種手段——或者，至少要表明這些公司意識(shí)到了塑料在包裝中的過(guò)度使用。（在大流行期間，棉布環(huán)保袋曾一度被暫停使用，當(dāng)時(shí)人們擔(dān)心可重復(fù)使用的袋子可能留存病毒，但現(xiàn)在它們已完全恢復(fù)使用。）
There’無(wú)紡布CT袋s a trend in New York right now where people are wearing merch: carrying totes from local delis, hardware stores or their favorite steakhouse,said the designer Rachel Comey. (See: the reboot ofGossip Girlfor pop culture proof.)

So far, so earth-friendly? Not exactly. It turns out the wholehearted embrace of cotton totes may actually have created a new problem.
那么，環(huán)保袋真的環(huán)保嗎？不完全是。事實(shí)證明，全心全意地推行棉布環(huán)保袋實(shí)際上可能導(dǎo)致了一個(gè)新問(wèn)題。
An organic cotton tote needs to be used 20,000 times to offset its overall impact of production, according to a 2018 study by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark. That equates to daily use for 54 years—無(wú)紡布CT袋for just one bag. According to that metric, if all 25 of her totes were organic, Ms. Berry would have to live for more than a thousand years tooffset her current arsenal. (The study has not been peer-reviewed.)
根據(jù)丹麥環(huán)境和食品部(Ministry of Environment and Food)2018年的一項(xiàng)研究，一個(gè)有機(jī)棉環(huán)保袋需要被使用2萬(wàn)次才能抵消生產(chǎn)它所產(chǎn)生的整體影響。這相當(dāng)于每天都使用同一個(gè)袋子，用上54年。照這樣計(jì)算，如果貝瑞的25個(gè)環(huán)保袋都是有機(jī)棉的，她將不得不活1000多年才能抵消她目前的環(huán)保袋庫(kù)存帶來(lái)的影響。（該研究尚未經(jīng)過(guò)同行評(píng)審。）
第一，學(xué)習(xí)無(wú)紡布CT袋telegraph的用法。這個(gè)詞作及物動(dòng)詞，表示to let people know what you intend to do without saying anything，流露，暴露〔意圖〕，例：A slight movement of the hand telegraphed his intention to shoot.手微微一動(dòng)就暴露了他想要開(kāi)槍的意圖。
第二，學(xué)習(xí)lull的用法。這個(gè)詞作可數(shù)名詞，表示a short period of time when there is less activity or less noise than usual，〔活動(dòng)或噪聲的〕暫停，暫時(shí)平靜期，其后接in，例：a brief lull in the conversation談話中短暫的沉寂
第三，學(xué)習(xí)無(wú)紡布CT袋arsenal的用法。這個(gè)詞作可數(shù)名詞，表示a large group of weapons that someone has，儲(chǔ)備的大批武器，例：Britain’s nuclear arsenal英國(guó)的核武器。此外，這個(gè)詞還可以表示the equipment, methods etc that someone can use to help them achieve something，〔設(shè)備、方法等的〕寶庫(kù)，珍藏，例：a software package that’s now part of our arsenal現(xiàn)已成為我們法寶之一的一個(gè)軟件包。
Cotton is so water intensive,said Travis Wagner, an environmental science professor at the University of Maine. And figuring outhow to dispose of a tote無(wú)紡布CT袋in an environmentally low-impact way is not nearly as simple as people think.
棉花非常耗水，緬因大學(xué)無(wú)紡布CT袋(University of Maine)環(huán)境科學(xué)教授特拉維斯·瓦格納(Travis Wagner)說(shuō)。要弄清楚如何以對(duì)環(huán)境造成較小影響的方式丟棄環(huán)保袋，也并不像人們想象的那么簡(jiǎn)單。
You can’t, for example, just put a tote in a compost bin: Maxine Bédat, a director at the New Standard Institute, a nonprofit focused on fashion and sustainability, said she hasyet to find a municipal compost that will accept textiles.
例如，你不能把環(huán)保袋就這樣放入堆肥箱中：專(zhuān)注于時(shí)尚和可持續(xù)發(fā)展的非營(yíng)利組織新標(biāo)準(zhǔn)研究所(New Standard Institute)的主管馬克辛·貝達(dá)特(Maxine Bédat)說(shuō)，她尚未找到可以接受紡織品的城市堆肥。
And only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actuallymakes its way to textile depositories無(wú)紡布CT袋.
每年生產(chǎn)的3000萬(wàn)噸棉花中，只有15%真正進(jìn)入了紡織品倉(cāng)庫(kù)。
Even when a tote does make it to a treatment plant, most dyes used to print logos onto them are PVC-based and thus not recyclable; they’reextremely difficult to break down chemically,said Christopher Stanev, the co-founder of Evrnu, a Seattle-based textile recycling firm. Printed patterns have to be cut out of the cloth; Mr. Stanev estimates 10 to 15 percent of the cotton Evrnu receives is wasted this way.
即使環(huán)保袋真的被送到了處理廠，用于印制徽標(biāo)的大多數(shù)染料也是基于無(wú)紡布CT袋PVC的，因此不可回收；位于西雅圖的紡織品回收公司Evrnu的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人克里斯托弗·斯塔內(nèi)夫(Christopher Stanev)說(shuō)，它們極其難以通過(guò)化學(xué)方式分解。印花圖案必須從布上剪下來(lái)；斯塔內(nèi)夫估計(jì)，Evrnu收到的棉花中有10%到15%因?yàn)檫@個(gè)原因被浪費(fèi)。

At which point there is the issue of turning old cloth into new, which is almost as energy intensive as making it in the first place.Textile’s biggest carbon footprint occurs at the mill,Ms. Bédat said.
下一步的問(wèn)題是，將舊布變成新布的過(guò)程幾乎與最初的制作一樣耗能。貝達(dá)特說(shuō)：紡織品最大的碳足跡發(fā)生在紡織廠。無(wú)紡布CT袋
The cotton tote dilemma, said Laura Balmond, a project manager for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular campaign, isa really good example of unintended consequences of people trying to make positive choices, andnot understanding the full landscape.
艾倫·麥克阿瑟基金會(huì)(Ellen MacArthur Foundation)的讓時(shí)尚循環(huán)(Make Fashion Circular)活動(dòng)的項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理勞拉·巴爾蒙德(Laura Balmond)表示，棉布環(huán)保袋的兩難困境是一個(gè)非常好的例子，說(shuō)明人們?cè)噲D做出積極的選擇，卻沒(méi)有了解整體情況，這導(dǎo)致了意想不到的后果。
Buffy Reid, of the British knitwear label &Daughter, halted production of her cotton bags in April this year; she’無(wú)紡布CT袋s planning to implement an on-site feature where customers can opt into receiving one. Though Aesop isn’t halting production, the brand is converting the composition of their bags toa 60-40 blend of recycled and organic cotton.
英國(guó)針織服裝品牌&Daughter的巴菲·里德(Buffy Reid)在今年4月停止了棉布環(huán)保袋生產(chǎn)，她打算在門(mén)店實(shí)施一種政策，顧客需要主動(dòng)提出才可以得到袋子。Aesop沒(méi)有停產(chǎn)，不過(guò)品牌打算將袋子的成分改成60%回收棉和40%有機(jī)棉。這會(huì)提高15%的成本，桑托斯說(shuō)，但是用水可以減少70%到80%。
Some brands are turning to other textile solutions. The British designer Ally Capellino recently swapped cotton for hemp, while Ms. Hindmarch introduced a new version of her original tote, this time made from recycled water bottles; Nordstrom also uses similar bags in its stores.無(wú)紡布CT袋
有的品牌在選擇別的面料方案。英國(guó)設(shè)計(jì)師埃莉·卡佩里諾(Ally Capellino)近日把棉布改成了麻布，而欣德馬奇推出了一種新版托特袋，使用回收水瓶制作；Nordstrom的門(mén)店里也有類(lèi)似的袋子。
In the end, the simplest solution may be the most obvious.Not every product needs a bag,said Ms. Comey.
最簡(jiǎn)單的解決方案也是最顯而易見(jiàn)的。并非所有產(chǎn)品都需要一只袋子，科米說(shuō)。
