Refuse, Reduce,
Re-use, Recycle
In 2016, a whopping 46% of the UK’s carbon footprint came from emissions released overseas to satisfy UK consumption,
(a significant increase from 14% in 1990).
Imported emissions are mostly associated with manufactured goods such as processed food, clothes and electronics.
​
One of the best things we can all do is buy less and reuse and recycle goods.
