||1: Some of the technologies Mr Anderson hoped for (and half-envisaged, as a graduate in systems engineering from his much-loved Georgia Tech) had not been invented when he started. ||2: Several colleagues thought he had gone round the bend again. ||3: He had to bring them along slowly, in his quiet way, until they “got it” by themselves. ||4: But by 2007 the company was, he reckoned, about halfway up “Mount Sustainability”. ||5: Greenhouse-gas emissions by absolute tonnage were down 92% since 1995, water usage down 75%, and 74,000 tonnes of used carpet had been recovered from landfills. ||6: The $400m he was saving each year by making no scrap and no off-quality tiles more than paid for the R&D and the process changes. ||7: As much as 25% of the company's new material came from “post-consumer recycling”. ||8: And he was loaded with honours and awards as the greenest businessman in America.

||1:当安德森先生刚起步的时候，他所希望的一些技术（作为他深深喜欢的佐治亚理工学院的一位系统工程研究生，他只是半想像这些技术）还没有发明出来。||2:几位同事还以为他又发疯了。||3:他不得不以他安谧悠闲的方式慢慢地培养他们，直到他们自己真正理解了这项技术。||4:但是，到2007年为止，他估计公司会走在进行可持续性发展的半道上。||5:自1995年以来，公司以绝对吨位计算的温室气体排放量下降了92%，水量下降了75%，而且从垃圾填埋场重新回收了7万4千吨旧地毯。||6:他每年因不生产小方地毯的废品和不合格产品而节省下来的4亿多美元比研发和工艺变革方面的支出还要多。||7:公司新材料高达25％来自“消费回收”。||8:因而作为美国最环保的商人，他被授予了很多的荣誉和奖励。

||1:America's gas boom has prompted its coal miners to seek new export markets, sending prices plunging on world markets.||2:So long as consumers do not pay for coal's horrible side-effects, that makes it irresistibly cheap.||3:In Germany power from coal now costs half the price of watts from a gas-fired power station.||4:It is a paradox that coal is booming in a country that in other respects is the greenest in Europe.||5:Its production of power from cheap, dirty brown coal (lignite) is now at 162 billion kilowatt hours, the highest since the days of the decrepit East Germany.

||1:美国天然气市场的繁荣，促使着本地煤炭企业到海外拓展市场，推动者煤炭国际价格的下跌。||2:只要一天消费者们仍不用对燃烧煤炭的副作用承担责任，那么煤炭价格将依旧保持那让人难以拒绝的低廉。||3:在德国，煤炭发电的成本仅为天然气发电的一半。||4:这是一个多么自相矛盾的情况：煤炭正推动着其经济的发展，而在其他方面，德国却是欧洲最环保的国家。||5:由廉价、肮脏的棕色煤块（褐煤）所产生的电力，目前已经达到了自东德时期以来的最高水平，达到了1620亿千瓦时。
