English term or phrase: carbon footprint
Definition from AltusLumen:
Carbon footprint measures total amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the environment. Greenhouse gas emissions from all sources are summed up and changed into units of CO2 equivalent which is used to standardize greenhouse gas emissions and help make comparisons from different time periods and across industries. Carbon emissions are usually measured in metric tons per year (1 metric ton equals 2204lbs).

Example sentence(s):
  • With rises in the costs of fuel and widespread media coverage on the threats of global warming, reducing your carbon footprint is increasingly at the forefront of the sustainability agenda for consumer product manufacturers and retailers. Carbon Footprint Consumer Products 2008
  • Global climate change is one of humanity’s greatest challenges and one of the most important indicators that we are in ecological overshoot. Since the carbon footprint is 50 percent of humanity’s overall Ecological Footprint, reducing our carbon footprint is essential to ending ecological overshoot. Global Footprint Network
  • Some companies have started to include footprints on their labeling. Carbon labels appeal to consumers who understand and monitor their own carbon footprints and want to support products that do the same. HowStuffWorks, Inc.

carbon footprint


Definition from Time of Change:
"Carbon footprint is the sum of all emissions of greenhouse gases like CO2 (carbon dioxide), which were induced by your activities in a given time frame ..."

"Carbon footprint" predstavlja zbir svih emisija gasova sa efektom staklene bašte, kao što je CO2 (ugljen dioksid), koji su nastali usled vaših aktivnosti u datom vremenskom okviru...

Ovo je samo jedna od definicija, a kako tvrde stručnjaci iz oblasti ekologije, ovaj termin još uvek nema jedinstvenu naučnu definiciju odnosno značenje.

Example sentence(s):
  • Carbon footprint je naziv kojem pripisujemo vaš osobni doprinos globalnom zatopljenju. - Sixsigma magazin  
  • Primer "neprevodivosti" predmetnog termina u nemačkom jeziku: "Der Schutz der Umwelt: Reduzieren Sie Ihre Carbon Footprint über Ihre Ernährungsgewohnheiten." - ArticleSnatch.com  
  • Primer "neprevodivosti" predmetnog termina u italijanskom jeziku: Carbon footprint: passo dopo passo verso un fronte comune - Perini Journal  

Explanation:
Kao što se vidi iz datih primera, termin "carbon footprint", kao i mnogi novonastali termini u engleskom jeziku, nemaju adekvatan prevod u dugim jezicima, te se usvajaju u originalu.

No  Mira Stepanovic: Prevod postoji što je najvažnije a pored toga nije zadovoljena ni forma KBG pitanja, v. napomenu u gornjem desnom uglu ove stranice.

  -> Prevodi postoje ali su ili pogresni (ne kaze se na srpskom "karbonski" za ugljenik, ili su stavljeni pod navodnike, a nijedan ne "zvuci" uverljivo.

Example sentence(s):
  • Karbonski otisak poslovnog čoveka koji putuje prvom klasom je najmanje četiri puta veći od onoga koji pravi osoba koja leti ekonomskom klasom. - NIN  
  • Vozilo će nositi ime 1/X (čita se engleski 1-x’th), zbog razlomka koji opisuje njegov ugljenični “otisak”, u poređenju sa drugim vozilima. Pored značajno niže emisije CO2 (navodno, do čitavih 60 procenata), ovaj auto će koristiti i od 30 procenata manje energije,i to sve zahvaljujući kompoziciji tela. - KupujemProdajem  
  • Postajemo „ugljikomani“, ´zavisnici´ od ugljenika. Svako je odgovoran za smanjenje svog „otiska ugljenika“ (eng. carbon footprint). Poruka ovogodišnjeg Svetskog dana zaštite okoline zato glasi “Rešimo se zavisnosti od CO2! - Prema privredi s niskom potrošnjom ugljenika”. - Economy Internet Group
