For example, typing in a non-essential Google inquiry on an energy-efficient laptop leaves a footprint of 0.2 gCO2e. On an old desktop computer, it is 4.5 gCO2e.

例如,用节能笔记本在谷歌上搜索一般的问题会产生0.2克的二氧化碳,而用老式电脑则会产生4.5克二氧化碳.

Sending a text message isn't a less harmful method of communication either, as it comes at a cost of about 0.014 gCO2e.

发送短信同样会对环境产生影响,因为会产生约0.014克二氧化碳.

A trip to the grocery store also leaves behind a large print as well.

去一趟小卖部也会产生大量碳足迹.

Plastic grocery bags each have a carbon footprint of 10 gCO2e, but the paper ones are even worse at 40 gCO2e each.

制造小卖部的一个塑料袋会产生10克二氧化碳当量,而每个纸质袋子二氧化碳当量则高达40克.

Store-bought bottled water has nearly 1,150 times the emissions attached to it than a glass poured from the tap.

店里买瓶装水比用玻璃瓶从水龙头接水产生的碳排放量高1150倍.

A one-pint size bottle is responsible for 160 gCO2e compared to 0.14 gCO2e for tap water.

1品脱的瓶装水要消耗160克二氧化碳当量,而等量的自来水只会产生0.14克二氧化碳当量.

A large cappuccino comes with a footprint of 235 gCO2e, partly because of the emissions from raising the cow which produced the milk.

一杯大杯的卡布奇诺咖啡的碳排量为235克.(因为其中加入的奶来自养殖的奶牛,而养殖奶牛也会产生二氧化碳.)

For a cup of home-made black tea or coffee for which just enough water was boiled, the figure is 21 gCO2e.

自制一杯红茶或者咖啡需要的开水,会产生21克的二氧化碳.

With the holiday season here, gift giving can contribute greatly to the release of CO2.

假日里,送礼也会产生大量的二氧化碳.
