3/30 Talk about carbon foot prints and ways to reduce carbon emissions.

Carbon footprints are the tracks we leave on the Earth in terms of carbon dioxide emissions.
* carbon footprint: 탄소발자국
* track: 흔적, 자국

The primary footprint can be calculated by our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels.
* carbon dioxide emissions: 이산화탄소 배출
* fossil fuel: 화석연료

The secondary footprint is a count of the indirect CO2 emissions from the products we use.
ex> Can you get a count of how many people are in attendance today?

We can reduce our carbon footprints by conserving energy.
ex> Taking public transportation is one way of conserving energy.

Try to buy foods that are in season locally rather than having exotic, out-of-season foods that are flown in.
* exotic: 수입의, 이국적인
* out-of-season: 제철이 아닌
ex> Vegetables are much cheaper when you buy them in season.

@ I felt like I was walking on air.  정말 날아갈 듯이 기분이 좋았어.


1. Everyone should participate in reducing their carbon footprints.
2. The population is a count of people living in a country.
3. Conserve energy in your everyday life.
4. Fruits taste better when they are in season.
