即使环保袋真的被送到了处理厂，用于印制徽标的大多数染料也是pvc型的，因此不可回收；位于西雅图的纺织品回收公司evrnu的联合创始人克里斯托弗·斯塔内夫说，它们“极其难以通过化学方式分解”。

最新的研究表明，爱开快车以及爱喝功能性饮料， 可能是刻在我们dna里的东西。
双语阅读
new research into the link between risk-taking behaviors in traffic, drivers who were ticketed for exceeding thespeed limit, and energy drink consumption suggests that people who score higher on tests for impulse control disorders and aggressiveness are also moreproneto driving fast and consuming energy drinks.
一项研究驾驶中的风险行为、因超速被开罚单的司机以及消费能量饮料之间联系的新研究表明，在冲动控制障碍和攻击性测试中得分较高的人，更容易开快车以及消费能量饮料。
this innovative study was conducted by t?nis tokko and colleagues from jaanus harro’s lab at the university of tartu. their multifaceted findings are based on comprehensive longitudinal data from the estonian psychobiological s

tudy of traffic behaviour combined with police databases, insurance records,psychometricquestionnaires, and genetic testing.
这项创新性的研究是由t?nis tokko和塔尔图大学jaanus harro实验室的同事们共同展开的。他们基于爱沙尼亚交通行为心理生物学研究的综合纵向数据，结合了警察数据库、保险记录、心理测量问卷和基因测试，得出了多角度的研究发现。
“we were able to pick out lots of associations between everyday risk-taking and risky driving. for example, we found that subjects who drink energy drinks at least once a week were twice as likely to speed as those who didn’t drink energy drinks as often,” tokko said in a news release.
“我们能够得出日常冒险行为和危险驾驶之间存在很多关联。例如，我们发现每周至少喝一次能量饮料的受试者超速的可能性是那些不经常喝能量饮料的人的两倍，”tokko在最新发布的文章中表示。
“we think the energy drink consumption may be related to a need for excitement, rather than the drinks themselves being a direct cause oftraffic violations,” he added. “drivers’ underlying psychological makeup may lead them both to speed and to want to consume more energy drinks.”

thecohortfor this study included 817 drivers with about a 50/50 split between men and women (49.2% male, 50.8% female). among this group, 137 were considered “fast drivers” because they’d gotten policecitationsfor exceeding thespeed limit. compared to subjects with no speeding tickets in a five-year period, speed limit exceeders tended to have faster reaction times, were more likely to pursue vigorous physical activity, and drank energy drinks more frequently.
这项研究的受试群体包括817名司机，男女比例约为50/50（49.2%的男性，50.8%的女性）。在这群人中，有137人属于“快车司机”，因为这些人曾经因超速被警方传讯过。与五年内没有收到超速罚单的受试者相比，超速司机往往反应更快，更有可能进行剧烈的体育运动，更频繁地饮用能量饮料。
