今天（3月18日）是全球回收日–这一天敦促我们成为环保英雄。
To mark the day, backed by the全球回收基金会, we're sharing some of our recent efforts to reduce waste across the railway …
Reuse, recycle or redeploy
We're aiming toreuse, recycle or redeploy all our nonhazardous infrastructure materials by 2029.
Running Britain's railway produces a lot of waste – 2.1 million tonnes in
从2018年到2019年。
We have to use less and manage unavoidable waste better. We have a huge opportunity to contribute to a more circular economy. This means extracting fewer virgin resources from the planet, and keeping materials and resources in circulation and waste to an absolute minimum. This action will also help us significantly reduce our carbon
排放。
Meanwhile, in October我们在应对气候变化方面迈出了重要一步by becoming the world's first railway company to set最雄心勃勃的科学目标限制全球变暖。
基于科学的目标倡议, backed by the联合国，独立验证了我们的目标和实现目标的计划。这意味着我们是第一家致力于减少碳排放的铁路公司，碳排放将气温限制在1.5摄氏度。这甚至比科学家们宣称的满足这一要求所需的两个学位还要低巴黎协定，一个避免危险气候变化的全球框架。
啜饮、保存和回收
In September, we encouraged coffee-loving commuters to ‘sip, save and recycle' their cups at Britain's biggest and busiest railway stations.
我们在伦敦国王十字街、利兹、伦敦桥、滑铁卢、伦敦利物浦街、伦敦查林十字街和伦敦坎农街推出了第一批咖啡杯回收箱。
You can use the bright orange bins to recycle any paper coffee cups during your journey. The recycled cups are turned into up-cycled reusable cups and other products, including tissue and packaging. This encourages a circular economy as well as reduces waste.
我们与环保慈善组织合作喧闹然后在我们拥有并直接管理的所有火车站安装专门设计的垃圾箱，包括伯明翰新街、布里斯托尔圣殿米德斯、爱丁堡韦弗利和曼彻斯特皮卡迪利。
学校用笔记本电脑
We launched支持儿童在家学习和减少浪费的计划!
一月份，我们向曼彻斯特的一所学校捐赠了笔记本电脑。英国国营铁路公司（networkrail）的志愿者设计了一项计划，将旧笔记本电脑捐赠给全英国急需设备帮助他们完成学业的儿童。亚搏彩票软件官网
The project aims to donate more than 8,000 laptops to schools in Britain over the next year.
Nominations for schools from Network Rail employees are processed by a team of volunteers who work with the schools to deliver this initiative.
All change at Swansea
Construction of a new, longer platform four at Swansea railway station got underway in March after a month of demolition work to remove and recycle the old one.
The new platform will be 260m long, 13m longer than the original, to allow train operator西部大铁路的新城际特快列车到达和离开它。它是车站现代化和改善乘客体验计划的关键部分。
To make way for the new structure, contractor阿伦格里菲斯从现场清除了2400吨拆迁垃圾。它把钢铁送到斯旺西和布里奇德的回收中心，把混凝土送到兰内利的阿伦格里菲斯回收中心。
