The consumer(消费者) plays a very important role in the global efforts to reduce C0₂ emissions(排放). Households use one third of the final energy and produce around two thirds of city waste in the European Union. Besides，housing, food，and private transport make up almost 80％ of environmental pressures. Therefore there’s no doubt that consumers can make a real difference in fighting climate change．

To direct consumers towards more environmentally-friendly decisions，we need clear and simple instructions to guide consumption behavior. Actually, two thirds of consumers find it hard to figure out which products are better for the environment, for 58% Europeans think that many businesses just pretend to be green so as to charge higher prices. Thus industry should work harder to give consumers more information about the carbon footprint of their product. For example, inform customers of products made from materials that are recycled，renewable, and／or less carbon-intensive.

People prefer high-quality products that will last long and won’t go out of style, though they might sometimes cost more, especially in time of crisis. Firms that make durable（持久耐用的） or recyclable products cause people to behave more responsibly, which may help put an end to our “throw-way” culture．

However, it is not enough to remind people of green products. It’s more important to direct people to follow a practical lifestyle model. Regulations(规则) alone cannot achieve this purpose. We call for good business communities to create a loyal group of “sustainable(可持续的) consumers”.

1.According to the passage, the key to going greener globally is    ．

A．to provide enough information about sustainable products

B．to get the government involved in protecting the environment

C．to encourage consumers to make their efforts to live a green way

D．to direct companies to provide environmentally-friendly products

A．people are buying sustainable products to have a lighter carbon footprint

B．most European consumers lack confidence in making responsible choices

C．companies have done enough to allow consumers to make greener choices

D．companies can make more money by making less carbon-intensive products

3.It’s advised that companies had better       especially in the time of crisis.

A．throw away old materials

B．reduce the cost of production

C．make more durable products

D．replace their products frequently
