關注氣候變化的“氣候素食”

巴黎氣候峰會和北京最新發布的霧霾紅色預警讓人們不得不開始關注氣候變化和污染的問題。很多人開始意識到日常的生活方式對環境也可以產生影響，并且積極開始向綠色生活方式轉變。

Climatarian means choosing to eat a diet that has minimal impact on the climate, i.e. one that excludes food transported a long way or meat whose production gives rise to CO2 emissions.
氣候素食（climatarian）指選擇一種對氣候影響最小的飲食習慣，比如，不吃那些長途運輸的食物，不吃那些會增加二氧化碳排放的肉食，等等。

For example:

Climate change is not normally on people's minds when they choose what to have for lunch, but a new diet is calling for people to go ‘Climatarian' for their health and for the planet.
人們選擇午飯吃什么的時候通常不會考慮氣候變化的問題，不過，有個新的飲食習慣正在號召人們為了自身健康和地球的未來加入“氣候素食”。

There are some signs the public is starting to take such advice on board. They include the release of an ‘EatBy' app that reminds consumers to use up food in the fridge, and a new social network to help people adopt a ‘climatarian' diet that shuns meat from gassy grazing animals, such as beef and lamb.
有跡象表明，公眾開始接受這樣的建議了。比如，有一個叫EatBy的手機應用會提醒人們把冰箱里的食物都吃光，還有一個新的社交網絡鼓勵人們開始“氣候素食”，讓人們拒絕食用能夠產生大量氣體排放的食草類動物的肉，比如牛肉和羊肉。
