However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns. 　　Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy. 　　This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the panies should still make efforts to bee more environmentallyfriendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentallyresponsible panies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a pany’s environmental reputation was not good enough. 　　Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes, “I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking — we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a mediumterm benefit for the brand. ”　　Larger panies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which panies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers. 　　The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work panies are doing. “When panies are granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (標(biāo)識(shí)) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions, ” Mr Morrison said. 【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。介紹了由于消費(fèi)者環(huán)保意識(shí)的增強(qiáng), 各公司不得不下大力氣減少碳的排放量。5.
