Carbon Christmas

Apparently, a carbon footprint equivalent to 6,000 car journeys around the world will be produced by the UK tucking into Christmas dinner.

Researchers have calculated the production, processing and transportation costs of the festive ingredients. It's claimed the UK's love of the traditional turkey dinner will generate 51,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Really? Do we need to know this? I'm already recycling all my rubbish, using public transport and switching off every light and standby button in my house. Please let me enjoy my Christmas dinner!!!
