Take two: We have opportunities here
An dàrna turas: Tha cothroman againn an seo
Let's have a look at this conversation again.
Fhuair sinn aiteal air leigheas na cruinne. Ach dè a-nise? Dè nì sinn?
We got a glimpse of the world healing. But what now? What do we do?
Bha thu dìreach ag ràdh bho chionn ghoirid gun robh a' chùis na bu mhotha na thusa no sinne.
You were just saying a short while ago that the issue was bigger than you or us.
An toiseach, a chàirdean, cha bu chòir dhuinn a bhith a' trod agus a' dol a-mach air a chèile!
First of all, friends, we shouldn't be quarrelling and falling out with one another!
Sin mar a thachras eas-aonta is—glasadh. Agus chan e math dhuinn a bhith a' deasbad mu anacothroman.
That's how disagreements happen and—stalemates. And it's not good for us to be debating disadvantages.
Thu thu ceart. Tha cothroman againn an seo nach eil?
You're right. We have opportunities here, don't we?
Tha gu dearbh. Coma leibh agus plodraigeadh le sgudal is ath-chuairteachadh sna dachaighean againn fhìn.
Yes, of course. Never mind tinkering with rubbish and recycling in our own homes.
Bu chòir dhuinn a bhith a' sadail a-mach nan seann phoileasaidhean is ro-innleachdan sgìth nach eil ag obair!
We should be throwing out the old policies and tired strategies that don't work!
Dè a dh'obraicheas? A' caomhnadh bith-iomadachd? A' glèidheadh mòr-chòmhdhail no a' lùghdachadh siubhal chàraichean is itealain?
What will work? Preserving biodiversity? Maintaining mass transport or reducing car and plane travel?
A' luchdachadh siubhal chàraichean? Och a' lùghdachadh siubhal chàraichean is mòr-chòmhdhail! Nach eil iad co-ionnan? Cuir iad ris a' liosta co-dhiù!
Loading car travel? Oh, reducing car travel and mass transport! Aren't they the same? Add them to the list anyway!
Ach a' bruidhinn air luchdachadh, nach bu chòir dhaibh sgur de leasachadh ionadan-dàta, no tuathanasan-fhrithealaichean? Tha iad cianail trom air dealan agus uisge!
But speaking of loading, shouldn't they stop developing data centres, or server farms? They are terribly heavy on electricity and water!
Sin an Sgòth dhut! Aotrom san adhar ach trom air stòrasan.
That's the Cloud for you! Light in the air but heavy on resources.
Nach tuirt mi ribh iomadh uair roimhe seo? Reachdas, a chàirdean, 's e sin a tha a dhìth, aig gach ìre de riaghaltas.
Haven't I told you many times before? Legislation, my friends, is what's needed, at all levels of government.
Tha mi leat, a Fhionnlaigh. Bu chòir dhuinn a bhith a' tilgeil às na companaidhean a bhios ri nighe-uaine.
I'm with you, Finlay. We should be throwing out the companies that green-wash.
Uill ann an dòigh, nochd iad deagh eisimpleir dhuinn! Carson nach dèan sinn atharrais air a' ghleustachd, dealasachd is diongmhaltas aca? Sin far am bi ath-chuairteachadh feumail!
Well, in a way, they set a good example for us! Why don't we emulate their smartness, dedication and determination? That's where recycling comes in handy [is useful].
