Require labels on all products showing water and carbon usage in manufacture

Closed 56 signatures

What the petition asks

Just as we have nutritional information, alcohol volume and energy consumption ratings on product - we ask that manufacturers add a label to indicate how much water and carbon went into the manufacture of a product in the form of a clear and easy to understand rating for consumers.
There is an environmental impact for every product we buy. This is having a detrimental impact on public health, species diversity and climate. In turn this harms crops, economies, living standards/stability. Through eco-labels we will:
1 Put pressure on manufacturers to adopt more eco-friendly practices;
2 Empower consumers to make choices which balance personal need with responsibility;
3 Balance economic prosperity with the environment for the long term benefit of life and planet
