If your university is introducing carbon labels on menus, students may have questions about what they mean. To help, we’ve created a student-facing FAQ resource that explains carbon ratings in a clear and engaging way.
Download the FAQ Sheet
This one-page guide answers key questions, such as:
✔️ What do carbon ratings mean?
✔️ Why does food’s carbon footprint matter?
✔️ How are emissions measured?
✔️ Why do some foods have higher emissions than others?
It’s designed to be printed or shared digitally, making it easy to display in canteens, student hubs, or online sustainability pages.
How to Use This Resource
✔️ Display it in dining halls - add posters near food stations to help students understand carbon labels.
✔️ Share it in sustainability campaigns - use it in social media, newsletters, or student engagement events.
✔️ Make it accessible online - upload it to your university’s sustainability page or intranet.
