Science and Sustainability Comment of the Week

Posted on April 17, 2011April 16, 2011 By David Shiffman

As the second week of Science and Sustainability Month comes to a close, I’d like to congratulate Rebecca Nesbit for writing the latest comment of the week.

“It makes it so much harder for consumers when there aren’t simple solutions like ‘local is better’. What I would love to see is better labeling. Just as our food in UK supermarkets has a little pie chart or equivalent on the packaging saying how much fat etc it contains, it would be great to see ‘GHG emissions in transport’ etc. Then consumers have the power to makes choices.

At work I’m doing a report about small businesses and how they can protect biodiversity. Certification is certainly something I intend to research for it”
