減少時尚碳足跡
The fashion industry releases around 10% of the global greenhouse gases every year, more than the amount produced by international flights and shipping combined.
時尚產業每年排放的溫室氣體約佔全球總量的10％，比國際航空與船運加總起來都來得多。
release(v.)排放;發出;散發produce(v.)製造;生產
Rubi Laboratories, a US startup, has found a way to reduce the fashion industry’s carbon footprint by turning carbon dioxide into fabrics.
美國一家新創公司「Rubi Laboratories」透過將二氧化碳轉化成衣料纖維，找到了減少時尚產業碳足跡的辦法。
reduce(v.)減少turn A into B=將A轉化成B
The company captures CO2 from manufacturing facilities using an enzyme system.
該公司利用酶系統採集工業設備排出的二氧化碳。
capture(v.)捕捉;採集;取得
Once captured, CO2 is then turned into cellulose, which can be used to create viscose.
採集到的二氧化碳接著被轉化成纖維素，可用於製造嫘縈。
create(v.)創造;打造;製造
The enzymes act as a catalyst and are able to turn 100% of the CO2 input to the reactors into an end product.
酶作為一種催化劑，可將輸送至反應爐內的二氧化碳全部轉化爲成品。
act as=擔任…;扮演…be able to do sth.=能夠做到某事input(v.)(n.)輸入;投入
Rubi Laboratories skips the water, land, and chemicals used to grow and process plant fibers for the fashion industry.
不同於一般時裝產業的製作過程，「Rubi Laboratories」在種植與加工植物纖維時無需用上大量的水、土地與化學物質，
skip(v.)跳過process(v.)加工processed food=加工食品
Instead, they directly synthesize the same exact fibers to create the viscose without producing waste or CO2 emissions.
改以直接合成纖維製造嫘縈，不會產生廢料或二氧化碳。
synthesize(v.)合成photosynthesize=進行光合作用biosynthesize=生物合成emission(n.)排放(物);散發
