What is the Carbon Footprint of ...

We have compiled a list of the carbon footprint of as many items as we could find we have also included the source of the information. The idea is so that we can make informed decisions about what we eat, purchase and buy. However, it does have to be said that carbon emissions from these items can vary from producer, town, city and thus the information was true for only the time that the production cycle was analyised and therefore should not be taken out of context.
