丹麥一家酒店近日推出一項低碳環(huán)保新舉措，邀請入住的客人通過安裝在酒店的腳踏發(fā)電自行車邊運動邊發(fā)電，如果發(fā)電量到達一定標準便可以免費享用一頓晚餐。這家酒店在聲明中表示，通過腳踏自行車發(fā)電10瓦時以上的客人將會額外享受到一頓價值240丹麥克朗（約合28.5英鎊）的當地風味美食；此舉不但可以鼓勵客人們多運動保持身體健康，同時還能減少他們的碳足跡，節(jié)電又省錢。據該酒店發(fā)言人介紹，腳踏自行車發(fā)電計劃將于4月19日正式推出，并將試行一年，之后會考慮推廣到其他連鎖酒店。

A Danish hotel is pioneering a pedal-power electricity generation scheme it hopes will catch on in other countries.
The Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers, 15 minutes from the centre of the Danish capital and five minutes from Scandinavia's main airport, is installing two exercise bicycles hooked up to generators.
Guests will be invited to jump on and start pedaling -- and if they produce enough electricity they will be given a free meal.
From June, they will be able to race against the 366-room hotel's solar panel system in a bid to produce the most electricity.
"Anyone producing 10 watt hours of electricity or more for the hotel will be given a locally produced complimentary meal encouraging guests to not only get fit but also reduce their carbon footprint and save electricity and money," the hotel said in a statement.
Hotel spokeswoman Frederikke Tommergaard said the free meal offer applied only to paying guests, not passers-by.
The value of the meal -- any one of the main courses on the hotel restaurant or lobby bar's menu -- is about 240 Danish crowns (28.50 pounds), she told Reuters.
The electric bikes will be up and running from April 19 and the plan is to test the idea for a year with a view to expanding it to more Crowne Plaza hotels, part of the InterContinental Hotels Group.
