A restaurant is claiming to be the first in the world to carbon footprint everything it serves. Otarian is a concepts based around vegetarianism and it says that swapping a meat based lunch for an Otarian carbon saving cambo meal, could save 2.3kg of carbon, which is equivalent to the carbon emission of 4 central London black journeys.
Carbon reduction company sustain measured the carbon footprint of each menu item for the restaurant, which then appears alongside the footprint of a comparable meat dish. The aim is to encourage customers to think about the impact of their food choices on the planet and understand the environmental benefits of reducing meat consumption. Items that represent the biggest carbon savings are actively promoted to customers. Thought about the Prince of Wales Pub because it serves food..... then again it's a big project.
It's a good idea but time will not allow me to in cooperate this into my research.
