Other studies show that simply providing the facility for people to compare their energy use with the local average is enough to cause them to modify their behaviour. 出自-2015年12月阅读原文 To stabilize its population—discounting immigration—women must have an average of two children. 出自-2013...
根据下文“An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use, their study suggests”(他们的研究表明,人口老龄化可能意味着更 大比例的社会有更高能源的使用),由此可推断出“energy use increases as we get older, and not just because we tend to get wealthier"(...
