【正文】 curred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916. Then in 20032006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潛艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures. For the next four years (20062010), Fabien was part of a series called, Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物種) and environments. In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one fish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its final goal is to plant 1 billion fish worldwide. From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate change and pollution are affecting the oceans. Fabien39。s Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (顯露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘) of what lies beneath.

But in Liuzhou, a city in southern China, attitudes could not be more different. The Liuzhou Municipality Urban Planning Bureau has signed up Italian architect Stefano Boeri, the father of the forest city movement, to build a selfcontained munity for up to 30, 000 people. He is the goto man for such projects thanks to the success of his vertical forests, two residential (住宅的) towers. Completed in 2014, they remove up to tons of soot (煤煙) from the air each year, and a year later one of them was named Best Tall Building Worldwide. The Liuzhou project is a much more ambitious undertaking, however. Its homes, hospitals, hotels, schools and offices will be built on a 340acre site in what Boeri calls the first attempt to create an urban environment that is really trying to find a balance with nature. Its 100 species of plant life are expected to absorb almost 10, 000 tons of carbon dioxide and 57 tons of pollutants per year, while at the same time producing 900 tons of lifegiving oxygen. Although the architects haven39。t published the cost of the forest city, the Milan towers cost only five percent more than traditional skyscrapers. The construction of his forest city at Liuzhou is set to begin in 2020, and there is still a great deal of planning and research required before a projected pletion date can be set. However, Boeri remains optimistic about the project and has confidence in the soundness of his vision: I really think that bringing forests into the city is a way to deal with global warming.（1）What39。s Liuzhou39。s attitude towards the sustainable development?
