Proceeding contribution from Julia Goldsworthy (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities (Recession).
Rural Communities (Recession)
Do we not also need to ensure that consumers are properly educated about what happens and are not misled? Often, they are told that they have the opportunity to, for example, buy cabbage locally, without knowing that, although it has been cut locally, it has been sent hundreds of miles away to be wrapped in plastic and then sent back to their area. People need to be fully aware of the situation's true carbon impact.
