CO2 Footprint Measurement
The figures above are a consumption footprint that captures all the emissions produced as a result of the activities that the area’s residents engage in, regardless of where geographically they occur. For example, emissions resulting from the food they eat, the clothes and household items they buy, the leisure activities they engage in, their travel behaviours, and the heating of their homes.
It doesn’t include things that happen in the area which isn’t directly related to the residents, for example, Kemble airport or railway station.
