这两年，人们在环保方面可以说是屡出新招，比如，号称健康又低碳的“植物肉”，用着

用着就烂了的纸吸管，点外卖要额外付费的一次性餐具，等等。最近，英国一个研究团队尝

试为食品测算“环保值”，并力推食品生产商都为产品打上“生态标签”。这项措施真的有利于

环保吗？推广''生态标签"，究竟是约束生产商，还是绑架消费者？

不久之后，超市购物者就能先检查某样食品会对环境带来怎样的影响，再决定要不要把

它放进购物车里，这都得益于一项新研究。但目前，消费者还无从获得这类可靠信息，因为

在英国，食品生产商只需要列出他们产品的主要原料即可。

科学家们为了解决这个问题，对数千种食品的成分及其生态影响进行了估算。许多消费

者原本就想知道，他们每周采购的食物会对地球造成怎样的影响。食品行业也迫切需要一种

新方法来测算食品的生态影响，而有些食品生产商已经采用了这种新算法。
