TED演講者：Wayne Ting / 韋恩·丁

演講標(biāo)題：A carbon-free future starts with driving less / 無(wú)碳的未來(lái)始于減少開(kāi)車(chē)出行

內(nèi)容概要：Can we use less energy from fossil fuels while also meeting our transportation needs? Enter shared electric micromobility: the transition away from dependence on cars and towards lightweight transport options like electric scooters, which release a fraction of the carbon emissions of conventional transport. Helping people get around on the world's largest shared electric vehicles system, entrepreneur and Lime CEO Wayne Ting shares how his company redesigned their scooters so parts can be reused and recycled, ultimately reducing their direct and indirect carbon output. "We have to work at building a future of transportation that is shared, affordable, but most importantly, carbon-free," he says.

我們可以更少地使用化石燃料能源，但與此同時(shí)還能滿足出行需求嗎？共享式電動(dòng)微型交通：減少對(duì)于汽車(chē)的依賴(lài)，轉(zhuǎn)向輕量交通的過(guò)程，比如電動(dòng)踏板車(chē)，它只產(chǎn)生傳統(tǒng)交通方式一部分的碳排放。幫助人們了解世界上最大的共享電動(dòng)交通工具平臺(tái)， Lime 公司的首席執(zhí)行官，企業(yè)家韋恩·?。╓ayne Ting）分享了他的公司如何重新設(shè)計(jì)踏板車(chē)，使產(chǎn)品的零部件可以被重復(fù)使用和回收利用，最終直接或間接地幫助減少碳排放。他說(shuō)：“我們需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建運(yùn)輸方式的未來(lái)，它是共享的，是人們支付得起的，但是最重要的，它是無(wú)碳的。”

【1】The number one source of carbon emissions in the United States is coming from transportation.

在美國(guó),交通運(yùn)輸位列 碳排放來(lái)源榜單首位。

【2】Globally, it's number two.

全球范圍內(nèi),它排在了第二位。

【3】And the majority of that comes from our personal use, our cars and trucks.

這其中的大部分來(lái)自于個(gè)人用途—— 我們的汽車(chē)與卡車(chē)。

【4】How do we consume less energy while meeting the needs that people have of transportation?

我們?nèi)绾卧跐M足運(yùn)輸需求的同時(shí), 消耗更少的能源？

【8】[Sector: Micro-mobility Location: USA] The majority of car trips in the world today are less than five miles.

[行業(yè):微型交通,地區(qū):美國(guó)] 如今,世界上大部分的汽車(chē)旅程 要小于五英里。

【9】It’s a simple question: Can we get more people to drive less and bike more and scooter more to where they go?

問(wèn)題很簡(jiǎn)單:我們能否 讓更多的人減少開(kāi)車(chē), 更多地選擇騎腳踏車(chē)與踏板車(chē)出行？

【10】The average trip on an e-bike or e-scooter produces less than seven percent carbon emissions of an equivalent car trip.

與同等距離的汽車(chē)旅程相比, 電動(dòng)自行車(chē)與電動(dòng)踏板車(chē) 所產(chǎn)生的的碳排放要少 7% 。

【11】Micro-mobility is dramatically more green than alternatives, and we're working every single day to reduce our own carbon emissions even further.

微型交通比其他交通方式 綠色環(huán)保得多, 我們每一天都在努力, 進(jìn)一步降低自己帶來(lái)的碳排放。

【12】So what sometimes happens is that a company would say, "What is the dirtiest part of our business?

你可能偶爾會(huì)聽(tīng)到有公司這樣說(shuō): “我們的工作里 最臟最累的部分是什么？

【13】Let's just outsource it.

咱們把這部分外包出去。

【14】And if we outsource it, we've solved our problems."

只要外包出去, 我們的問(wèn)題就解決了?！?/p>

【15】But that doesn't actually solve your problem because somebody else is polluting and emitting.

但是這沒(méi)有真正解決你的問(wèn)題, 因?yàn)槠渌诉€是在制造污染和排放。

【16】If we're going to live up to our own ideals then we need to do the core of what folks have always done: reduce, reuse and recycle.

如果想要實(shí)現(xiàn)理想, 那我們就要堅(jiān)持做 以下幾件至關(guān)重要的事情: 減少使用、重復(fù)使用 以及回收利用。

【17】The early days of micro-mobility, we took a consumer scooter or a consumer e-bike and we put it into a commercial space.

微型交通行業(yè)發(fā)展的前期, 我們將踏板車(chē)和電動(dòng)腳踏車(chē)包裝好, 然后將它們投入市場(chǎng)。

【18】And what that meant was that our average scooter lasted a month.

結(jié)果踏板車(chē)的平均使用壽命 僅有一個(gè)月。

【19】Imagine that, every month we need to buy an entire fleet for the world.

想象一下,每個(gè)月我們都要 向市場(chǎng)投入一批全新的踏板車(chē)。

【20】And that was not green.

這并不綠色環(huán)保。

【21】And it created an enormous amount of shipping cost, manufacturing cost, upstream and ultimately it created problems in terms of end of life of our scooters and e-bikes.

它產(chǎn)生了巨額的運(yùn)費(fèi)、 制造成本、上游費(fèi)用, 最終還帶來(lái)了使用壽命到期后的 踏板車(chē)與腳踏車(chē)的處理問(wèn)題。

【22】And so we found manufacturing partners that can build scooters and e-bikes that last four years, five years, rather than a month.

于是我們開(kāi)始尋找可以生產(chǎn) 使用壽命為四五年,而不是一個(gè)月的 踏板車(chē)和腳踏車(chē)合作制造商。

【23】We also then said, OK, it's not just how long it lasts, it also depends on how many of the parts we can reuse.

使用年限很重要, 有多少零部件可以重復(fù)使用 也非常重要。

【24】And so we started to say, let's redesign our entire e-bikes and e-scooters so that if a scooter does break, we can take it apart and reuse many parts of that scooter.

我們開(kāi)始思索,不如把我們的電動(dòng) 腳踏車(chē)、電動(dòng)踏板車(chē)整個(gè)推翻重來(lái), 這樣,一旦踏板車(chē)壞掉了, 我們能將它拆分并且 重復(fù)使用很多零部件。

【25】We started to use a swappable battery technology.

我們也開(kāi)始使用可替換電池技術(shù)。

【26】Not only does it increase the life, it also reduces the number of trips we have to take back and forth to actually support our fleet.

這不僅提高了使用壽命, 也減少了我們來(lái)來(lái)回回忙活 為車(chē)充電的次數(shù)與煩惱。

【27】And we're constantly working to reduce the amount of waste that we actually send to landfill.

我們一直在努力減少 送到垃圾填埋廠的廢棄物數(shù)量。

【28】As our batteries get to the end of life, they may not have sufficient charge to power an e-bike, but that battery can still power many, many things.

當(dāng)我們的電池臨近 使用壽命盡頭時(shí), 它們可能不再有足夠的電量 為電動(dòng)腳踏車(chē)供電, 但它們還可以為很多其他東西 提供能量。

【29】We started partnering with a portable speaker maker, and we take that battery that today doesn't have enough juice to power somebody on a scooter and we turn it into the battery for the portable speaker, and it extends and it recycles into that life.

我們開(kāi)始與一家 便攜式音箱制作商合作, 帶去了一個(gè)不再能為 踏板車(chē)供電的電池, 將它變成了便攜式音箱的電池, 于是電池得到了回收利用, 使用生命得以延續(xù)。

【30】A lot of these things wouldn't be part of our direct carbon emissions, but we care about it because the thing that we have to count is the true end to end life cycle of our products.

很多事情并不會(huì)直接成為 我們碳排放行動(dòng)的一部分, 不過(guò)我們很在意, 因?yàn)槲覀兛紤]的是 我們產(chǎn)品真正的 端到端的生命周期。

【31】When I look across all these things, it's not one thing, it's not two things, it's 100 little actions we do.

當(dāng)我縱觀這些事情, 它不是一件事,不是兩件事。 是我們做的一百件小事。

【32】And it starts with understanding and measuring our own environmental impact and challenging ourselves to do better.

它起始于理解與衡量 我們自己帶來(lái)的環(huán)境影響, 并且挑戰(zhàn)自我,要做得更好。

【33】We have to work at building a future of transportation that is shared, affordable, but most importantly, carbon-free.

我們需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建交通方式的未來(lái), 它是共享的,是人們支付得起的, 但是最重要的,它是無(wú)碳的。
