Thanks to @tracingpaper on Twitter for the lead to a Guardian article which explored the carbon footprint of that cup of tea or coffee you've just drunk...
Here's the one I just drank - thanks to Emma for making it for me.
Some interesting comparisons with some other activities...
The carbon footprint of a cup of tea or coffee:
21g CO2e: black tea or coffee, boiling only the water you need
53g CO2e: white tea or coffee, boiling only the water you need
71g CO2e: white tea or coffee, boiling double the water you need
235g CO2e: a large cappuccino
340g CO2e: a large latte
How does this compare with other activities ?
How could the total carbon produced be reduced ?
