I will raise awareness of what is a very pressing matter, that of carbon footprint labelling for produce and products we purchase on a daily basis, particularly in the context of the imminent publication of the climate action plan. I also raise it in the context of informing consumers throughout the country of the choices they are making about products that are coming in from all over the world rather than being sourced locally. The multiples and smaller retail units should involve themselves in tackling unnecessary carbon emissions by leading the way in ensuring that such a measure would be a success.
