If you’d like to cut your carbon this Christmas why not try some of the suggestions below around reducing your consumption. We'd love to hear your ideas too - just email us at [email protected]
Changing your eating habits is one very effective way that individuals can lower their carbon footprint. According to Mike Berners-Lee, author of ‘How Bad are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything’, the food we buy makes up around 20% of our carbon footprint. In the UK that’s 170 million tonnes of CO2e which is almost as much as we emit on household fuel and electricity put together!
Last month we looked at holiday travel, this month I'd like to devote to actions to reduce your carbon footprint around food. But for this I'm going to need your help!
I'd like to gather together lots of useful resources that people find helpful on the following topics:
Just back from holiday? Dreaming of your next trip?
Concerned about the impact of travel on the climate crisis?
Here’s some info to help guide you through this minefield – mostly taken from the book ‘How Bad are Bananas – the Carbon Footprint of Everything’ (1) by Mike Berners-Lee (which by the way is well worth buying as a solidly-researched source of information on all this stuff – and a surprisingly entertaining read!).
