灵活办公空间引领低碳环保新风尚
Flexible Workspaces Helping To Save The Environment
雷格斯近日发布郊区经济研究表明,随着越来越多的灵活办公空间分布在市中心和商业区外,较长的通勤时间及污染环境的通勤方式正逐渐成为过去时。
The Suburban Economic Study commissioned by Regus shows that as co-working spaces are increasingly located outside of major city centers and business districts, lengthy and environmentally damaging commutes are becoming a thing of the past。
研究显示,随着大城市以外地区灵活工作制的爆发式增长,至2029年,“市郊”办公空间可减少的碳排放量相当于每年1280次伦敦往返纽约航程的排放量。
New research also reveals that, by 2029, ‘outer city’ office spaces will reduce carbon emissions by the equivalent of 1,280 transatlantic flights between London and New York each year。
这意味着仅仅通过在离家更近的办公地点工作,可使得每年进入大气层的碳减少2560000公吨。
Thats 2,560,000 metric tons of carbon stopped from entering the atmosphere annually, just by working nearer to home。
通过让人们在离家更近的地方工作,一个当地办公空间平均每年可为员工节省7416小时的通勤时间,相当于每个中心每年减少118公吨碳排放。
By allowing people to work closer to home, a local office space will save workers an average of 7,416 hours per year in reduced commuting times, equating to a reduction of 118 metric tons of carbon emissions per center, per year。
雷格斯母公司IWG集团中国区总裁胡懋表示, “通勤往往使人感到不适,对家住较远的员工来说,通勤更是非常耗时,同时这也是全球污染的一大来源。在这个保护环境、人人有责的时代,每天到大城市通勤显得越来越过时了。”
Edward Hu, CEO for Regus parent company IWG China, said: Commuting can be uncomfortable, unfriendly, and incredibly time-consuming。 It is also a huge source of global pollution。 In an age where every business and individual has a responsibility for their environmental impact in the world, commuting into major cities looks increasingly old fashioned。

新西兰航空公司推出经济舱“卧铺”
Air New Zealand Unveils Economy-Class Sleeping Pods
据外媒报道,根据奥克兰一家航空公司的200多名客户的意见,经过三年的研发和测试,新西兰航空公司于2月26日为“经济型空中之屋”申请了专利和商标。
On February 26, the airline filed patent and trademark applications for the “Economy Skynest” -- the result of three years of research, development and testing based on input from more than 200 customers at a hanger in Auckland。
根据新西兰航空公司的公告,“经济舱空中之屋”将由6张可完全平躺的单人床舱位组成,其位于飞机内的确切位置还有待确认。
According to Air New Zealands announcement, the Skynest will consist of six full-length lie-flat sleep pods in the Economy cabin。 The exact location within the aircraft is yet to be confirmed。
“空中之屋”预计将在今年10月奥克兰飞往纽约的航线率先使用。据报道,新西兰航空公司将评估该航线的首年运营业绩,并在2021年对是否推广做出最后决定。
The airline will reportedly make a final decision on the Economy Skynest in 2021, once it has assessed the performance of its inaugural year of Auckland-New York operations, due to take flight in October this year。
新西兰航空公司的首席营销和客务官迈克・托德表示:“对于乘坐长途航班的经济舱乘客来说,一个明显的痛点就是无法伸展身体。‘经济舱空中之屋’的研发是对这一挑战的直接回应。”
“A clear pain point for economy travelers on long-haul flights is the inability to stretch out,” says Air New Zealand chief marketing and customer officer Mike Tod in a statement from the airline。 “The development of the Economy Skynest is a direct response to that challenge。”
该航线预计单程飞行时间为17小时40分钟,是世界上最长的航线之一。
That flight will take an estimated 17 hours and 40 minutes one way, making it one of the longest in the world。
