我們每天出行、吃飯、洗澡等行為都會(huì)產(chǎn)生二氧化碳的排放,這也就是我們的“碳足跡”。如今環(huán)保觀念雖然慢慢開(kāi)始深入人心,不過(guò)生活中還是有些人沒(méi)什么環(huán)保意識(shí),浪費(fèi)資源的行為看著都讓人心痛。
Carbon Bigfoot refers to a person with absolutely zero regard for his or her carbon footprint, the sum of all emissions of CO2 induced by your activities; an anti-environmentalist.
Carbon Bigfoot(碳大腳)指完全不在意自己碳足跡的人或者反環(huán)保人士。碳足跡指一個(gè)人的行為產(chǎn)生的二氧化碳排放量。
For example:
The elusive office Carbon Bigfoot appears to be Gary. The other day I watched him wad up 600 sheets of computer paper in pursuit of the perfect wastebasket three-point shot.
辦公室里隱藏的“碳大腳”原來(lái)是Gary。有一天,我眼看著他把600張電腦打印紙揉成紙團(tuán)對(duì)著垃圾筐練三分投籃。
