Impact of households report.

A good figure on page 55 re: impact of food, tobacco, household goods, leisure, footwear:

“Greenhouse gas emissions per households shown in chart 7.4 show a much greater comparability across the regions. The highest level of emissions per household comes from the South East at 16.5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per household per annum closely followed by London at 16.4 tonnes per household per annum. Northern Ireland has the highest level of emissions from the consumption of food, drink and tobacco while the South East has the highest level of emissions from household and personal goods and from leisure goods and services. Households in Yorkshire produce the fewest emissions from final demand with an average of 13.0 tonnes per household per annum. On average, emissions from household final demand in the South East are 27 per cent higher than those for Yorkshire.”

Within the demand for goods and services, the greatest levels of emissions come for demand for food, drink and tobacco. Greenhouse gas emissions from final demand include significant levels of emission from imported goods and services. The estimation of emissions from imports is complex and worthy of further investigation…”
