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.
海莉和凯文正在计划下个月去日本的旅行。凯文在电脑上查看班机资讯时，海莉注意到旁边有一个奇怪的图示。
海 莉： 嘿，那个树叶图示是什么？
凯 文： 那表示这趟班机的碳排放量比平均值低。
海 莉： 那我们应该订这趟班机。我想尽可能减少对环境的伤害。
凯 文： 好啊。不如我们把整趟旅程的重点放在绿色旅行怎么样？
海 莉： 好主意。这样的话，我们也应该预订环保的饭店。
凯 文： 妳是指那些不提供一次性盥洗用品的饭店吗？
海 莉： 对啊，还有那些只在你要求时才洗毛巾和床单的饭店 ── 不是每天都洗。
