‘The ability to match up items from very different spheres of our carbon footprints really leads to some 'moments of mild shock' and reflection in the reveal of their impact! Pets, in particular, seem to take most people by surprise.’

Educating about climate change is tricky and challenging. Dr Emma is a superb educator and facilitator in her own right. Add in the How Bad are Bananas carbon footprint game and it takes it to a whole other level of engagement. If you want the mix of climate science and fun interactive carbon literacy look no further.
