Ask companies producing food products to include on the label the carbon emissions involved in creating the product.

Created by J.M. on December 12, 2012

Food production contributes almost a third of our total greenhouse gas emissions. If we hope to reduce our emissions significantly consumers need to have an easier way of keeping track of the environmental impact of the foods we eat. Labeling of food products with carbon emissions involved in production would allow consumers to make more intelligent decisions when choosing what to buy in the grocery aisle.
