The label shows the carbon dioxide emissions connected with their production, transportation, usage and disposal( 清理)，thus showing the buyer the likely effect on climate change of buying a part
28、icular product.In the first group of studies, the research team proved that carbon emissions and a carbon emissions label would indeed play a role in consumer product decisions, although not as great a role as price.
