The production and distribution of food accounts for around a third of the world's total
greenhouse gas emissions.But as a consumer,it's difficult to measure the climate impact of what
you eat.A Dublin-based startup called Evocco could soon make it a cinch."It lets you track,
肿
improve and offset the climate impact of your food purchases,"co-founder Hugh Weldon says.
Users simply photograph their grocery receipt using the Evocco app,which identifies the
food products by reading the printed text and using machine learning.It then calculates the
carbon footprint based on the store's location and by checking the type,weight and origin of a
food against a database.The app also gives users the option to offset their shopping by
contributing to Go Carbon Neutral,an Irish not-for-profit initiative that plants native woodland.

As well as the immediate impact of offsetting groceries,Evocco hopes to raise public
awareness of the carbon footprint of different foods.Some factors are well known-for
instance,animal products are typically more resource-intensive than most plant-based
alternatives,and importing products increases their carbon footprint-but the app also helps
identify other important differences between items,such as seasonality or whether refrigeration
栽
was required on the journey to market.It also offers tips on how to reduce shopping emissions.
The app has been downloaded more than 1,000 times since its launch.
As well as the personal shopping app,Evocco is developing a digital tool to sell to food
retailers,e-commerce platforms and delivery apps that will track the climate impact of a
product's journey through the supply chain.The aim is to help retailers provide climate impact
明
information directly for consumers,while also giving Evocco access to product data to improve
its app."Our vision is to be the go-to digital tool for the food industry when it comes to supplying
climate impact information and sustainable consumption insights,"says Weldon.
1.What does the underlined part "a cinch"in paragraph 1 mean

B.An easy task.
C.A great challenge.
D.An official standard.
2.What might Evocco suggest users buy
A.Local seasonal fruits.
B.Local refrigerated meat.
C.Imported cold chain meat.
D.Imported seasonal vegetables.
