It's nice to have both the expert stuff and the shorter pieces too actually! And even if it does promote a particular positive scheme, it's clearly not a commercial advertisement...

This wording has appeared in various reports and academic studies.

Personally, I think this article doesn't match the academic level of other articles on this website, so I suggest that editor separate this kind of article from other articles in some way.

It might be more appropriate to translate footprint as "消耗" ！ Mon, 27 Aug 2007 08:19:48 -0400 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/1267#comment-4253 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/1267#comment-4253
