Splurging on $100 of clothes each month will set you back 0.5 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.

每月花费100美元(约638元人民币)购买衣服,每年将产生0.5吨的二氧化碳.

Throw in a $1,000 furniture purchase once a year and you're up to almost a ton.

每年花费1000美元(约6380元人民币)购买家具,所产生的二氧化碳多达一吨.

And of course, the bigger the TV, the bigger the cost in greenhouse-gas emissions.

毋庸置疑,电视屏幕越大,产生的温室气体就越多.

Watching two hours of tube on a 24-inch plasma screen pumps out 440 gCO2e, which is about the same as driving a car for 1.6 km.

24英寸等离子屏播放两个小时所产生的二氧化碳达440克,相当于一辆汽车开1.6千米所产生的二氧化碳.

The footprint is 68 gCO2e and 176 gCO2e respectively for two hours watched on a 15- or a 32-inch LCD screen.

15英寸和32英寸的液晶显示器播放两个小时,所产生的二氧化碳分别为68克和176克.

A mile of cycling fueled by a meal of bananas would be responsible for 65 gCO2e, compared to 260 gCO2e for a mile powered by cheeseburgers.

食用香蕉和食用芝士汉堡后骑行1英里所产生的二氧化碳当量分别是65克和260克.
