18、ecided to do something.At one point, McFarlen decided to get involved with the South Central Food Bank of Michigan Inc. to help give back to those in need. After that, he knew he had to do more to help his community and reduce his food waste.McFarlen came up with a plan to open a restaurant in the c
19、ommunity that would also help support a food pantry （储藏室）.After presenting the idea to FireKeepers leadership, they immediately approved the plan and agreed to help McFarlen realize his dream.In April of 2016, the owners of the FireKeepers Casino Hotel bought Fire Station No. 4, a historic firehouse
20、 near downtown that had been closed for years and was due to be pulled down. The group started transforming the fire station into a restaurant and food pantry to help people struggling for their next meal.On April 19, 2017, the restaurant opened to the public for the first time. At the same time, th
21、e food pantry opened its door in the back of the building.Its really unique, Kathy George, an Officer of FireKeepers, told Second Wave Media. A number of casinos do outreach, but were not aware of anyone who actually created a restaurant and food pantry directly.”The first year of operation went bey
22、ond their expectations. Not only did the restaurant attract customers, but the food pantry helped more people than they ever imagined.Apart from providing the typical pantry goods, McFarlen wanted to figure out a way to lower food waste at the Casino Hotel. We flash-freeze food from the buffet （自助餐）
23、and make family trays out of them. Once packaged, the food is delivered to food pantries in the area.” George explained.24.

27、lors. When temperatures rise again in spring, the growing season for trees starts again. Throughout the warmer months, trees take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This is the process of photosynthesis （光合作用）.The more photosynthesis, the more carbon is
28、 locked away.Carbon dioxide is a major driver of climate change, so the more is taken out of the atmosphere by plants, the better. With the warmer climate leading to a longer growing season, some researchers have suggested more carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees and other plants than in previ
29、ous times. But a new study has turned this theory on its head.The researchers, led by Deborah Zani at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, studied the degree to which the timing of colour changes in autumn tree leaves was determined by the growth of the plant in spring and summer.Traditionally
30、, temperature and day length were accepted as the main factor determining when leaves changed colour and fell, leading some scientists to assume that warming temperatures would delay this process until later in the season. However, in a new study about deciduous （落叶的）European tree species, researche
31、rs recorded how much carbon each tree absorbed per season and how that finally affected when the leaves fell. They found that as the rate of photosynthesis increased, leaves changed colour and fell earlier in the year.In a world with increasing levels of carbon in the atmosphere, these new findings
32、imply that warmer weather and longer growing seasons will not allow deciduous trees to take in more carbon dioxide. The studys predictive model suggests that by 2100, when tree growing seasons are expected to be between 22 and 34 days longer, leaves will fall from trees between three and six days ea
