The Overworld and the World with Rounded Corners (or the real world as some people like to call it) have a lot in common. Trees and plants differ depending on the biome or geographical location, oceans are filled with creatures both inky and playful, and dirt is plentiful. There is one major difference, and for once I am not referring to the terror that is the Phantom but it does also begin with a P. 
主世界，还有带弧度的世界（你们也常称之为主世界）有着很多相似之处，树木与其他植被因为生物群系以及各种地理位置的差别而不同。海洋里漆黑而又生机盎然。泥土也有很多种类。但是这仍有一个主要的区别，我指的不是Phantom的那个可怕幻影，但它的英文说法也是以P打头的。

I bring up pollution today because it’s Earth Day. We shouldn’t limit environmental action to 24 hours, but we can take some extra time today to reflect and learn. As luck would have it, Minecraft makes it possible to do just that in a fun and interactive way. If you head over to the Minecraft Marketplace, you’ll find Sustainability City – a free map where you explore recycling, energy efficiency, sustainable water treatment, and more! It's available for Bedrock and Education Edition . But that’s not all – Mojang Studios is doing one more thing today. We’re also donating $100,000 to The Nature Conservancy, who you might recognize from our amazing Coral Crafters initiative! This Earth Day, TNC is celebrating today’s environmental heroes and encouraging everyone to #SpeakUpForNature. Learn more here about the people making positive change for our environment and how you can make a difference.
我之所以提到“pollution”，也就是污染，是因为今天是地球日。我们不应只在地球日这24小时内做些临时抱佛脚的环保行动，但是今天我们确实可以多花一些时间去反省学习。幸运的是，我的世界里有一种比较有趣生动又可以互动的方式让你去体验。你可以在我们的我的世界商店里找到一张免费的地图——可持续发展都市。你可以在这里探索回收、资源效率、可持续水循环处理等项目。这张地图支持教育版与基岩版。但这还没完——Mojang工作室今天又在打一个算盘，他们将要捐赠十万美元给大自然保护协会，你或许在我们那期珊瑚制作者的地图时听过他们！今年的地球日，大自然保护协会将会表彰各项环境保护杰出人，并且呼吁大家都去#为环境说话#的话题里发微博。你通过这个话题可以了解更多为环境做出良好保护措施的人，你也可以了解到你可以如何保护环境。

A lot of us feel like we can’t make a difference, but I am here to tell you – yes you can! I am just one person and I still have an enormous impact on every single one of the devs’ everyday lives. The nature of this difference is not relevant in this case, but that does remind me that maybe I should supply some confirmed positive examples. I didn’t have to look very far (which is good as my eyesight is comically poor even for a writer) because there are two shining stars right here at Mojang Studios. 
我们之中有很多人都觉得自己比之环境无足轻重，毫无影响，但我要在这里和你重申一遍——你做得到！我虽然独自一人，但我依旧和每位开发者的日常生活息息相关。这种比喻似乎不太恰当，我似乎应该说一点正面的比喻，我目光还是太短浅了，不过这也不差，我作为一个写手来说，视力也算相当差的了。我们来说点正面的东西吧，比如Mojang里就有两位闪耀之星。

Joel and Karim both deal with environmental issues at Mojang Studios in different ways. They gave me some insight into their work out of the kindness of their hearts, not because I threatened to improvise if they refused. 
乔尔和卡里姆使用了不同的方式改善了本工作室的环境问题，他们热心的和我解释了一些他们的工作细节，绝非是我要挟他们，如果他们拒绝的话我就即兴发挥。

Joel Alveroth: We are constantly aware of our environmental impact and carbon footprint. Being partially based in Sweden, our company has been stricken with Greta-fever and our responsibility – but also our power – in this area is often discussed. Remembering that just as we are accountable for our social impact on the community, we must be role models in how we look after our planet.
乔尔·阿尔维诺斯：我们时刻对我们工作室对环境的影响以及碳排放保持警觉，由于有着总部在瑞典，我们一直在被格雷塔带起的社会热潮所诘责（就是那位How dare you的小姑娘）。我们在这片地区的义务与权力是经常被讨论的话题。记住，就像是我们要对对社会造成的影响负责一样，我们也要在星球问题的处理上做出表率。

Karim Walldén: As a company, we have launched a full audit to measure our total CO2 emissions at Mojang Studios in Stockholm. Our goal is to decrease our carbon footprint and also contribute to Microsoft’s vision to be carbon negative by 2030. 
卡里姆·沃尔登：作为一家公司，我们在斯德哥尔摩的工作室启动了一项全面的碳排放审查计划。我们的目标是最终减少来自我们的碳足印，同样也为微软在2030年达到碳负性的计划作出贡献。

Joel: As we are coming out of a large physical expansion and renovation, we have had the opportunity of remaking not just our office space but many of our office products. We have acknowledged the need for "new things" but remain conservative in the way we shop and constantly look for new materials and suppliers. For one thing, we are getting rid of the main offenders in our office snack assortment. 
乔尔：由于我们的正在扩量实体建筑并翻新旧的，我们有机会借此在改造办公空间之上进一步改造我们的办公产品，我们确实需要一些新东西，但是对新材料以及新**商的寻找上依旧保守。另一方面，我们也要淘汰掉我们办公室零食品种中的罪魁祸首。

Hold up, my snacks are in danger? 
等一下，我的零食要危了吗？

Joel: Sofia, I know your snack of choice is cooked, whole potatoes so you will not have to make any adjustments.
乔尔：索菲亚，我知道的，你的零食已经全熟的整块土豆，所以对于你来说啥都没变。

Phew! Thanks, Joel! You are a star. Do you have any more advice about how one person can make a difference?
呼，谢谢！乔尔，我的超人！对于个人要怎样有所作为这一点，你有什么建议吗？

Joel: Start by analyzing what you are doing and ask yourself what could be done differently. Thereafter, you assess; sometimes certain smaller issues could be better left alone to keep funds, motivation, and momentum in order to change the things with larger impact. What I am trying to say is, choose your battles and you will have the energy to fight more battles consistently over time.
乔尔：从规划好你现在要做的事情开始，反省一下还有没有可以改进的地方，然后再对此进行评估，有些时候为了保证资金、动力和势头，小问题可以忽视，避免因小失大。我的意思是，选好你的战场，要经得起时间的打磨去打持久战。

I tried very hard to poke holes in that, but I came up empty, leaving me with no other choice but to finish this potato and take a look around to see where I can make some changes.
我试着在土豆上打洞，但是实际上一无所获，我只能吃掉这个土豆，再四处看看，哪里还能做出改变。

Another company with sustainability goals is our partner, Mattel. They have set 2030 as the deadline for their products to be made of 100% recycled, reusable, or bio-based plastic. Today, 94% of the wood and paper fiber used in Mattel’s toys is made from recycled or FSC-approved material. Together with Minecraft, they have taken another step towards their 100% sustainability goal with the Minecraft Overworld Protector Playset. 
我们还有一个合作伙伴公司，美泰，他们也有着可持续发展目标，他们的目标是在2030年将他们的产品改进成可回收、重复利用或者生物质塑料制成的。现如今，美泰玩具公司已有94%的木材与纸张纤维都是使用的再生材料或者森林管理委员会认证的材料。与我的世界一起，他们使我的世界主世界保护者游戏套装向100%可持续发展目标又迈出了一步。

The playset features papercraft blocks with a thin coating that allows kids (and adult writers) to fold, stack, and build whatever they want. Like a tower, or a pile that used to be a tower! Just like with Minecraft, the possibilities are endless. The playset comes with Overworld, an exclusive figure themed to look like the Earth we all share, made from a minimum of 35% renewable resources, namely wood pulp, sourced under responsible forest management! You can learn more about it here .
这款游戏套装的特点是全部都是有着薄图层的纸质工艺积木，可以让孩子与成年人都折叠、堆叠并建造出他们想建造的任何东西，比如一座高塔，或者一堆像是塔的东西！就和我的世界一样，积木的可能性是无限的。这个套装对应了游戏里的主世界，是和我们地球相配对的独一无二的游戏主题，它们由至少35%的可再生资源制作而成，我们称之为木浆，源自优质负责的森林管理！你可在我们的商店里了解更多。

Everyone can, and should, do their part to make our world a cleaner and greener place to live. I hope all of us can learn something valuable today that we will take with us into our everyday lives and if you need some help, just remember the 4 R’s – Reuse, Recycle, Reduce, Remove-the-Phantom.
每个人都可以，也应该尽上自己的一份力量，让我们的地球变成一个更加清洁、环保的居住地，我希望每个人都能在地球日思有所得，再将这些结果都带到我们的日常生活之中，如何需要点小提示的话，你只需要记住四个R——再利用（Reuse），再回收（Recycle），减少（Reduce），移除幻翼（Remove-the-Phantom）。

Between April 22, 2021 and April 23, 2022, Mojang Studios will contribute $100,000 to The Nature Conservancy.Any purchases made in the Minecraft marketplace will not result in a contribution to TNC. The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to conserve the land and waters on which all life depends. More information about TNC is available by mail at 4245 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22203, by phone at (800) 628-6860 or at www.nature.org
在2021年4月22日到2022年4月23日期间，Mojang工作室将会向大自然保护协会捐赠10万美元，你们在我的世界商店里的各种购买将都不会给大自然保护协会带来额外的收益。大自然保护协会的使命是保护生命赖以生存的土地与水源。你可以通过邮寄、通话以及访问网站的方式了解到更多关于他们的信息。
