Carbon footprint labelling C014 / 1253
Carbon footprint labelling. Label on a food product showing its carbon footprint. This is an indication of the impact the production, distribution, consumption and disposal of the food and its packaging have on the environment through the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. These gases contribute to global warming. This labelling scheme is operated and certified by the Carbon Trust, a company established in England and Wales in 2001 to help companies and governments reduce their carbon footprints

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the concept of carbon footprint labelling on a food product. The label, marked as C014 / 1253, provides valuable information about the environmental impact of the entire lifecycle of the food and its packaging. By quantifying the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide during production, distribution, consumption, and disposal processes, this labelling scheme aims to raise awareness about our individual contributions to global warming. Operated and certified by the reputable Carbon Trust established in England and Wales in 2001, this labeling system empowers both companies and governments to take responsibility for reducing their carbon footprints. In an era dominated by concerns over climate change and environmental sustainability, such initiatives play a crucial role in promoting conscious consumer choices. The image captures a bread product nestled within a shopping basket—a symbol of daily sustenance—emphasizing that even seemingly small choices can have significant consequences for our planet. It serves as a reminder that every purchase we make has an impact on our environment. Through this photograph taken by Victor de Schwannberg from Science Photo Library in 2012, we are invited to contemplate how our decisions as consumers intersect with larger issues such as industrial practices and global warming. This snapshot encapsulates not only scientific detail but also represents an important milestone in environmental science—an emblematic example of efforts made towards reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating greenhouse gas effects within the food industry.
