旧金山机场禁止使用一次性塑料水瓶

Gone are the days of buying a last-minute pre-flight plastic bottle of water at San Francisco International Airport. If you want to hydrate, you'll either have to bring your own reusable bottle or prepare to buy an airport-approved glass or aluminum water bottle.

在旧金山国际机场, 登机前最后一分钟想买一瓶塑料瓶装水的日子一去不复返了。如果你想喝水,你要么带上你自己的、可重复使用的瓶子,要么就得买上一个被机场认可的玻璃瓶或铝制水瓶。

In an effort to make SFO more environmentally friendly, the airport is adding plastic water bottles to its list of restricted food service items starting August 20.

为了使旧金山机场更加环保,机场从8月20日起,将塑料水瓶列入限制性食品服务项目清单。

The airport, just south of San Francisco, set a goal three years ago of becoming the world's first zero-waste airport by 2021. According to the nonprofit Zero Waste Alliance, that means diverting at least 90% of waste from landfills and incinerators by recycling and composting.

这座位于旧金山南部的机场在三年前就设定了一个目标,即到2021年成为世界上第一个零废弃物机场。根据非盈利的零废物联盟的标准,这意味着把至少90%的废弃物通过回收和堆肥从垃圾填埋场和焚化炉转移出去。

landfill:废弃物填埋

incinerators: 垃圾焚化炉

composting:堆肥

"This is a big move for the airport," said Doug Yakel, SFO's public information officer. "It just further supports our green initiative."

“这是机场的一个重大举措,”旧金山国际机场的公共信息官员道格·亚克尔(Doug Yakel)表示。"这进一步支持了我们的绿色环保倡议。” 

initiative:倡议

The new practice stops airport vendors and tenants from selling or providing free bottled water in plastic. This includes all similar products sold in vending machines.

新的做法将阻止机场的供应商和租户对外销售或提供免费的塑料瓶装水。这包括在自动贩卖机上销售的所有相关产品。

vending machines:自动售货机,自动贩卖机

In place of plastic bottles, the vendors will be able to sell or provide reusable recyclable aluminum, glass and certified compostable water bottles, according to the airport.

根据机场提供的消息称,供应商将会出售或提供可重复使用的、可回收的、铝制、玻璃制、及经过认证的可降解水瓶,以取代塑料瓶。

Travelers can bring empty disposable plastic water bottles to refill. However, airport security still bans passengers from bringing filled bottles of water from outside.

游客可以带上空的一次性塑料水瓶来补充水。然而,机场保安仍然禁止乘客从外面携带装满水的瓶子。

SFO defines a bottle of water as drinking water in a sealed box, bag, can, bottle or other container intended primarily for single-service use and having a capacity of 1 liter or less. This includes purified water, mineral water, carbonated or sparkling water, and electrolyte-enhanced water.

SFO的瓶装水定义为:装在密封盒、袋、罐、瓶或其他容器中的饮用水,主要用于一次性使用,容量不超过1升。这包括纯净水、矿泉水、碳酸水、或起泡水、以及电解质增强水。

The ban does not apply to any flavored drinks like soda, iced tea or coffee and juice.

此禁令不适用于任何口味饮料,如汽水、茶饮料,咖啡,和果汁。

SFO has over 100 refillable water hydration stations for travelers bringing their own reusable water bottles, and it will add more.

SFO有100多个可加水的饮水站,供游客使用自己携带的可重复使用的水瓶装水,并将增加更多的饮水站。 

In September, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law that stops dine-in restaurants from automatically providing plastic straws to customers, making it the first state to partially ban them. Violating the law costs restaurants a $25 a day fine.

9月,加利福尼亚州州长杰里·布朗签署了一项法律,禁止餐馆自动向顾客提供塑料吸管,这使加州成为第一个部分禁止使用塑料吸管的州。如违反法律,餐馆每天将被罚款25美元。

In March, SFO also transitioned away from single-use plastic food service ware and utensils.

三月份起,旧金山国际机场已经过度到不再使用一次性塑料餐具。
