When the amount of carbon dioxide released is balanced by actions that remove or offset it, so there’s no net increase in emissions.
Carbon neutral — 碳中和
Natural resources that can grow back or be replaced quickly, like bamboo, wool, or corn-based plastic.
Renewable materials — 可再生材料
A unit of measurement (1 ton = 1,000 kilograms) used to describe the amount of carbon dioxide or other emissions.
Ton – 吨
People or tools that check if a product works properly before it is used or sold.
Testers — 测试人员
Companies that move products from manufacturers to stores or customers.
Distributors — 分销商
The release of gases (like CO₂ or methane) into the air, often from cars, factories, or power plants.
Emissions – 排放
A powerful greenhouse gas that is produced by natural sources (like wetlands) and human activities (like livestock farming and fossil fuel use).
Methane – 甲烷
A way of living or producing goods that avoids creating trash by reusing, recycling, or composting everything.
Zero waste — 零废弃
People or systems that take used products apart so the parts can be reused or recycled.
Dis-assemblers — 拆解工
Materials used in buildings to keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer, reducing the need for energy and cutting emissions.
Insulation – 保温
Workers or companies that put parts together to build the final product.
Assemblers — 装配工
Companies or people who make products, often from raw or recycled materials.
Manufacturers — 制造商
Energy that comes from sources that do not run out and do not harm the environment, such as solar, wind, hydro, or geothermal power.
Sustainable energy – 可持续能源
The layer of gases surrounding Earth, which includes the air we breathe and plays a key role in regulating climate and temperature.
Atmosphere – 大气层
Taking aluminum or other metals out of the Earth, which uses energy and affects the environment.
Extract aluminum (metals) — 提取铝（金属
Used materials that are processed and reused to make new products, helping reduce waste and emissions.
Recycled materials — 回收材料
The total amount of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, released into the atmosphere by human activities (like driving, manufacturing, or using electricity).
Carbon footprint – 碳足迹
Gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing the planet to warm up.
Greenhouse gases – 温室气体
