新年快到了，又要給朋友寄賀卡了。但是每年消耗這么多賀卡是不是也很浪費(fèi)呢？英國(guó)一家公司設(shè)計(jì)出一款“食用賀卡”，既滿足了人們的需求，又可以做到綠色環(huán)保。
An edible Christmas card has been designed by a Devon company to try to be as seasonally "green" as possible.
英國(guó)德文郡一家公司設(shè)計(jì)出一款可吃的圣誕賀卡，既適應(yīng)消費(fèi)旺季的需求，又盡可能做到了環(huán)保。
The card, with a picture of Brussels sprouts on the front, is made from potato starch paper and printed with food colouring instead of ink.
卡的封面是小洋白菜的圖片?？ㄊ怯猛炼沟矸圩龅?，并用食用色素替代油墨上色印刷。
