The Kyoto Protocol is a plan created by the United Nations for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change．The plan aims to reduce the amount of industrial gases released（释放）into the environment．Some scientists say carbon dioxide and other industrial gases are to blame for climate change around the world．The scientists say such gases build up in the atmosphere and trap heat below．They say this results in increasing temperatures and rising sea levels．
The plan is called the Kyoto Protocol because it was negotiated（商订）in Kyoto，Japan in December，1997．The goal of the agreement is to reduce the amount of emissions（排放物）--industrial gases released to below the levels of 1990．
Nations responsible for at least 55％of the world's industrial carbon dioxide emissions had to approve the agreement before it could go into effect．The European Union and many other industrial nations quickly approved the Kyoto Protocol．They receive credit for their own emissions if they invest in cleaned technologies in developing nations．Developing nations do not have to meet the emissions requirements of the agreement．
The United States produced 36％of the world's carbon dioxide emissions in 1999．But the United States refused to approve the Kyoto Protocol．Before the Protocol was negotiated，the United States Senate（美国参议院）voted that any treaty（条约）harmful to the economy of the United States could not be signed．President Bush has said that he supports the general idea of the treaty but will not send the treaty to the Senate for approval．Mr. Bush said that the agreement sets unfair differences between industrial and developing nations．He also said that the treaty could cause some Americans to lose their jobs．
After the United States rejected（拒绝）the Kyoto Protocol，approval by Russia was necessary for the agreement to come into effect．Russia approved the Protocol in November，2004 and the Kyoto Protocol went into effect on February 16th，2005．157 countries have approved the agreement．

WASHINGTON—Tofu（豆腐）and Soyaburgers（豆饼）may be coming to American school lunch menus．What will the kids say?
“Terrible，” said Greg Dudzinski，17，of Ripon High School in Wisconsin，as he toured the US capital．
“The regular hamburgers are bad enough，so soyaburgers would be a lot worse，” offered Zach Richey，13，of Scottsboro Junior High in Alabama，another tourist．
But the United States government—hoping to reduce the amount of fat that children are eating—has approved（认可）the use of soy as a meat substitute（替代品）in meals for schools and day-care centers．
Not all kids dislike the change Mariel Spano，17，of Sandy Creek High School in New York，also visiting the capital，said she likes soyaburgers：“There’s less fat，and they're better for you．They taste the same，and they're just as good．”
The government tried to make soy a meat substitute nearly 20 years ago-but later dropped the idea．At the time，the plan was intended as a cost-cutting move（步骤）．US Agriculture Department officials say their purpose now is only to make meals healthier．
Schools are likely to increase the amount of soy that is mixed with hamburgers and other foods already on their menus，and they will also be looking to food companies to develop new soy products that children will like “I can’t see putting tofu on a student’s plate as being acceptable．I can see taking a product that's familiar to the students and adding a large amount of soy to it and having it be acceptable，” said Jill Benza，director of food services for the Mesa，Arizona schools．
