H: Haley K: Kevin
Haley and Kevin are planning their trip to Japan next month. While Kevin is checking flights on his computer, Haley notices a strange icon next to one.
H: Hey, what’s that leaf icon?
K: It means that the flight produces less carbon than the average one.
H: Then we should book it. I want to do as little harm to the environment as possible.
K: Sure. How about we make this entire trip focused on green travel?
H: Good idea. In that case, we should also book hotels that are environmentally friendly.
K: You mean ones that don’t provide single-use toiletries?
H: Yes, and places that only wash towels and sheets when you ask—not every day.
海莉和凱文正在計劃下個月去日本的旅行。凱文在電腦上查看班機資訊時，海莉注意到旁邊有一個奇怪的圖示。
海 莉： 嘿，那個樹葉圖示是什麼？
凱 文： 那表示這趟班機的碳排放量比平均值低。
海 莉： 那我們應該訂這趟班機。我想盡可能減少對環境的傷害。
凱 文： 好啊。不如我們把整趟旅程的重點放在綠色旅行怎麼樣？
海 莉： 好主意。這樣的話，我們也應該預訂環保的飯店。
凱 文： 妳是指那些不提供一次性盥洗用品的飯店嗎？
海 莉： 對啊，還有那些只在你要求時才洗毛巾和床單的飯店 ── 不是每天都洗。
