Food for thought - cheeseburger carbon footprint
This was reported quite a while ago by Jamais Cascio of Open the Future. Definitely some food for thought…. the carbon footprint of a cheeseburger is approximately 3.6-6.1 kg of CO2-equivalent per burger, similar to driving with 1L of gasoline. Depending on the fuel efficiency, that means about 10km of driving…. Isn’t that amazing?! WOW….
A friend and I have talked about developing food carbon labels for a while, i guess it is already being developed. When will we be seeing them on the mainstream market? I can’t wait =)
