When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing

how nature solved problems. A ditry stream, for example, often became clear after flowing

through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to

wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.

After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing

nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of

fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he

figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would

later call an eco-machine.

The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥).

First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went

around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in

the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and

formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.

He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as

food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure

water.

Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility

that treated sewage ( 污 水 ) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an

eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.

“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box

of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe

what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”

24. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?

A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone.

C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor.

25. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?

A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.

C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine.

26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?

A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s

idea.

C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s

invention.

27. What is the basis for John’s work?

A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive.

C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.

The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed

exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if

you decide it’s right for you.

To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical

foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so

many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of

the digital minimalism philosophy.

Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the

digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty

days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen

online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.

In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter.

In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to
