With the advent of the global environmental protection campaign, “low-carbon” has become an increasingly popular expression, a catch phrase, among the environmentally-conscious people.White-collar workers pride themselves on going to offices on bicycles, on foot, or even on roller skates instead of being “the men behind the wheel”.Housewives save water after washing vegetables or clothes for flushing the toilet.Everybody seems to be an environmental activist nowadays.
随着全球性环保运动的出现，“低碳”一词在那些有着环保意识的人们中间，已成为一个日趋流行的语汇，或曰“口头禅”。白领员工们对于骑车上班、步行上班、甚至滑着轮滑上班倍感骄傲，而不必再做那所谓的“呆坐在驾驶舵后面的有车一族”。家庭主妇们也乐此不疲地在洗衣或洗菜之后，将水保存起来，用以冲厕。当下，每个人似乎都成为了环保积极分子。
