Introduce mandatory carbon footprint ratings for all goods and services

Closed 111 signatures

What the petition asks

Create requirements, like for nutritional information, that all food, goods and services must display a carbon footprint rating, like the traffic light label on food stuffs, showing the carbon footprint of a good or service. This would help consumers make an informed choice when buying.
We are facing a climate crisis with targets to reduce our carbon emissions. Consumers need information to make informed choices when buying food, goods and services. Government data shows buying a British tomato in winter an have three times the carbon & energy consumption than buying an imported Spanish tomato. There’s lots of examples like this but why stop there on food. It should be compulsory on all goods/services from toilet roll to banking, this will help consumers and promote carbon competition.
