Well I’ve just tried to work out our Green Mop carbon footprint. Our footprint is 7 tonnes on one calculator and 10 on another. I suppose they have to keep them generic, but I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t ask about the good things people do. Like do you recycle, if so what..  do you use disposable things or re-use.. etc.

I once asked the Carbon Trust to tell me what the carbon saving would be for swapping from toxic chemicals to non-toxic, and they couldn’t work it out. They said carbon footprint is definitely reduced by making that change, but couldn’t quantify it!

So maybe if we could quantify what a difference the good behaviour made, then people might me more encouraged to make changes.
