Skypeでの読み合わせを日曜日に行いましたが、そこに参加している
ネイティブによると、今回のビニエット（Going Green）は、全体的に
問題がない、ということでした。前々回は結構使われない表現が
いくつかあったのですが。でも、一ネイティブの意見ですから、
あまり本気にしないように。
この人、Going Green (1)の、high timeは使わない、about timeは
使うと言っていました。
これが何を意味するのかは私にはわかりません。。。
世代によって言葉が変わってきているのでしょう。。。
もしかしたらスクリプトを書いている人が回によって違うのかも
しれません。。。とかいってみたり。

■NHKラジオ 実践ビジネス英語 Going Green (3) 3/6 2009
■意味を考えてみよう。今日取り上げる単語が含まれています。
More traditional businesses, such as bicycle repair shops, are
likely to see growth over the next few years as more and more
people follow Jat's example and get on their bikes instead of
using their cars for errands and commuting.
I bet the organic farming sector is also getting a big boost from
the move to a green economy.
It seems that an increasing number of consumers are willing
to pay more money for food that's organically produced.
That kind of "feel-good" factor is another reason why many
people are launching green businesses or looking for green-collar
jobs.
My local supermarket now gives away reusable shopping bags
instead of the usual throwaway kind.
