There is a lot in the news today about reductions in Scotland our carbon footprint and our impact on climate change.

The issue is we can do our bit but it will not save the world from climate change. If Russia, China, US and India do not get on the road to control emissions then our efforts will not make much difference. Of course, we must lead the way and show that we are a developed country that can be used as an example for others to follow.

So why not start monitoring our carbon footprint, that’s my plan from 1st July 2007. Not only is the company I work for going on a big push to convince consumers that they should diet with us, but I am going on a carbon diet from 1st July!

Keep up with my progress here.
