覺得自己算是滿愛大自然的。
像是英國媒體龍頭BBC,每年都會製作許多不以賺錢為目的的電視節目(其實BBC好像沒有一個電視節目可以以賺錢為目的的....或許說,沒有一個節目可以 賺錢....)(註二),Gardeners' World,In the Night Garden,Springwatch,轉播 Chelsea flower show 等等,教導民眾如何種植,如何規劃自己的花園,如何去走進大自然,或是把大自然迎進來,來去欣賞我們居住的這個環境的靜與動之美。而這些節目的主持人與其 他有心人士更是在BBC的支持之下,開啟了一個 Breathing Places 的全民運動。
以下出自於 Breathing Places About Us website 以及不負責任翻譯:We want to help you get friendlier with wildlife and give you lots of ideas on how you can do just that.
我們想要讓你更加親近自然,以及給你許多主意告訴你怎麼去做。
Enjoying the outdoors will do you some good and, as long as you're careful, you will do some good for wildlife as well. It's as simple as doing one thing, no matter how big or small that one thing is. Or if you're really keen you can do lots and lots of one things.
享受戶外對你有許多好處,而且只要你小心,還可以同時對野外的生態有益。做“一件事“不需要很難,而且不管多大多小都好;當然如果你很積極你也可以做很多“件事“。
If you sign up to our newsletter we'll give you lots of ideas on how to do one thing, info on events in your local area and maybe a competition or two for you to enter.
如果你訂閱我們的電子新聞,我們可以給你許多好主意來作這“一件事“,還會告訴你你住家附近的將會有的活動,甚至一些比賽你可以來參加!
We want you to have fun with nature, enjoy being out there with nature and also learn about it along the way.
我們希望你能在大自然中找到樂趣,享受戶外生活,並且在歡樂中學習。
Enjoying nature can be as simple as taking a walk in the woods or putting up a bird feeder. If you're feeling more adventurous, you can join your local community group to help create a breathing place where you live.
享受大自然可以是很簡單的,在林中漫步,或是架設一個喂鳥器。如果你想要做更多,你還可以加入你社區的團體,幫助你的社區創造出一個可以呼吸的地方。
We work with a range of lovely partners that can provide you with an abundance of activities that will help you enjoy nature, and best of all, it will keep you or the kids amused...
我們與許多民間團體有聯繫,可以提供給你很豐富的活動內容,幫助你享受自然,而且更好的是,能讓你和你的孩子們開懷!
而 Breathing Places 所以提倡的“一件事“,真的不難,可以是“在鳥鳴中起床“。你不需要跑去戶外,只需要把你臥房的窗戶微微打開!也可以是在陽台或是花園放一個鳥飲水器,放幾盆花,少用有害的除蟲劑等等。

英國綠地不少, 野生動物也多.

cool 我喜歡 Do one thing

其實我們自己的陽台若是好好經營,也是會有很多鳥來拜訪的,當然也有蚊子會ㄧ起來。^_^
只是蝙蝠應該台北市不多喔?英國很多嗎?感覺很多蝙蝠觀察活動?
