Funnily enough, I haven't seen many newspapers carrying reports on how much of a carbon footprint is left by the printing and distribution of millions of newspapers everyday carrying non stories such as this.

Wouldn't they be better off catching this sod who's leaving bloody footprints all over the place ?? If they don't catch him (her) soon, they'll have to introduce more taxes !!!

Not that they need any more excuses!!

Sell your house and all you belongings, find a cave and live a simple 'eco friendly' lifestyle, then freeze or starve to death….or take your footprint and stick it in an enviro fascists thick scull – Job Done!

I say a big BOLLOX to them!

This whole Carbon nonesense has gone totally over the top now.

If we cannot even enjoy ourselves in this miserable, Nanny State on one day a year then why not just put us all down at birth and be done with it!

WELCOME TO THE UK

The paranoia shown by this crappy government over carbon emissions is well under way in the "get-a-job make-a-job" industry.
The real danger we face.....is the UK coming to a complete standstill over fear of polluting the air.

If Sneaky Brown was serious about carbon emissions he would do something about the extortionately high cost of using public transport...
