Having listened and watched the issues surrounding climate change, l have become a bit bewildered at the government stance regarding this issue. I wonder if l have missed a point when it comes to farming and our carbon foot print . How is the carbon footprint going to be offset by importing New Zealand Lamb ?
Surely when it comes to our food we should be backing our farmers. If we go back to eating seasonal meat and veg maybe we will have more appreciation for our food .
It appears to me that the importing of New Zealand lamb is a good example for how climate change will be difficult to actually implement . How far are we really prepared to go to save the planet ?

Hi Hede,
Yes, I agree. why trading with countries far away, where the carbon footprint is higher?
It doesn't make sense! We need to support our own farmers here and now!
I don't know if the government are serious about saving the planet or if it is all just talk to make them look good.
I Hope you are keeping well.
