根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

 1  The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global warming.

Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks

You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill. While you’re there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as “green” fertilizer in your garden.

The payoff:  2  

Strategy 2: Turn off your computer

When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy.   3  

The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO₂ by 750 pounds.

Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags

Strategy 5: Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器)

Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy.   5  .
