33、er. Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling bin, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is wasted a year.

34、 to fill it.Instead of carrying around a reusable water bottle, which youll either lose or leave at home, causing the purchase of yet another disposable bottle, Skipping Rocks Lab has come up with a different solutionan eatable, biodegradable (可由生物降解的）water bottle.Ooho is a convenient, clear water p
35、od that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either peel off the membrane (薄膜）or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth.

36、zalez says the bubble casing is like the skin of a fruit. The membrane packaging biodegrades in four to six weeks, like a piece of fruit.One problem the scientists and designers at Skipping Rocks Lab have run into is how to ship large amounts of Ooho bubbles without arriving with a very wet truck. F
37、ortunately, they have successfully packaged units of individual Ooho bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane, similar to the ones found around the smaller spheres (球体).The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set yet, but it costs about two cents to create a
38、 unit, which is significantly cheaper than plastic bottles.Ooho is initially targeting large outdoor events, such as marathons, music festival, and sporting events, where tons of plastic bottles are used, or only partially used, and frequently left behind as litter. It has already appeared at events
39、 in London, San Francisco, Boston, at conferences, festivals, and so on.Ooho is catching many peoples attention and has raised over $1 million and gained 1,000 investors in only three days.

One new
43、 approach: Check your mood.Often, procrastinators attempt to avoid the anxiety or worry aroused by a tough task with activities aimed at repairing their mood, such as checking Facebook or taking a nap. But the pattern, which researchers call “giving in to feel good,” makes procrastinators feel worse
44、 later, when they face the consequences of missing a deadline or making a last-minute effort, says Timothy Pychyl (rhymes with Mitchell), an associate professor of psychology at Carleton University.Increasingly, psychologists and time-management consultants are focusing on a new strategy: helping pr
45、ocrastinators see how attempts at mood repair are destroying their efforts and learn to control their emotions in more productive ways.The new approach is based on several studies in the past two years showing that negative emotions can damage attempts at self-control. It fills a gap among establish

Some are
47、tried-and-true classics: Dr. Pychyl advises procrastinators to just getstarted, and make the doorstep for getting started quite low. “Procrastinators are more likely to put the technique to use when they understand how mood repair works,” says Dr. Pychyl, author of a 2013 book，“Solving the Procrasti
48、nation Puzzle.” He adds，“A real motive power comes from doing what we intend to dothe things that are important to us.”He also advises procrastinators to practice “time travel”projecting themselves into the future to imagine the good feelings they will have after finishing a task, or the bad ones they will have if they dont. This cures procrastinators tendency to get so stuck in present anxieties and worries that they fail to think about the future.Another mood-repair strategy, self-forgiveness, is aimed at dismissing the self-blame.
