New terms like “freecycle” (a Network to promote waste reduction) popped up this year, while “carbon footprint” and “carbon credits” reached a growing impression as part of the green vernacular. 2007 also saw queries on global warming reach their highest level ever — throughout the summer, buzz on “stop global warming” boomed, as conscientious citizens looked to reduce their carbon footprint.
