This is a good initiative and it will be interesting to see who does and who doesn’t sign up to have the Carbon Footprint of their product shown on their label.

Whilst I understand the need for import/export to maintain a healthy economy here in Australia, wouldn’t it be nice to see some pressure back on the major retailers to purchase local where possible. It would also be nice to see them not screw local suppliers (ie farmers) but that is a whole different story.

It is also really important if they are to introduce labelling that the measurement process is consistent and transparent.
