Abstract
Each year, the Oxford University Press selects a word to be added to the New Oxford American Dictionary — a word that not only reflects the events and concerns of the proceeding year but also is forward-looking. In 2006, the word of the year was “carbon neutral.” Numerous airlines, businesses, athletes, entertainers, international institutions, and more have expressed their commitment to carbon neutrality.
