Milk’s carbon footprint in figures

X Farming Figures

A look at… the role of dairy farming in climate change… told through some key statistics

2050 Year Government wants UK to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions; NFU target is for farming to be net zero by 2040 49% Share of global cattle farming’s total GHG emissions from feed production/processing 7.1 gigatonnes Annual GHG emissions from global livestock, measured in CO2 equivalence 3% Dairy production’s share of global natural and man-made GHG emissions

121.4 million tonnes GHG output from UK transport (in CO2e)

1.25kg Carbon footprint from producing 1 litre of UK fat-corrected milk

243kg Carbon footprint of one person flying from London-Rome

17.1kg C-footprint of a typical 100 mile car journey

21 times more GHG emissions from UK transport compared with all UK agriculture

Less than 1:11 Share of British GHG emissions due to agriculture, dairying being less than 2%

Your Club in the Summer

I can’t believe that March is at an end, where did the beginning of the year go?

With Easter plans in progress, including a visit to the Club for a couple of days break, my mind wanders to the brighter, lighter, longer, hazy days of Summer.

To enable you to make your summer plans here are 6 things you need to know about your Club in the Summer months;

1. The Club is fully open throughout including bedrooms, The Restaurant, Bar and use of the function rooms (long gone are the days when the Club is closed!)

2. Function rooms are available for you to book for lunches, dinners, special occasions and meetings. The view of the summer planting in Embankment Gardens and the River Thames bring the outside in.

3. An array of Club Events will be taking place throughout the summer months.

(a lovely excuse to have a quick, relaxing few days away)

4. The Terrace of course comes into its own. It can be used to dine al fresco (first come first served), to reserve in part for your function (subject to availability) or to simply watch the world go by and enjoy the buzz of London, tinged with a warm sunny glow.

5. During the month of August the relaxed summer dress code applies.

6. London has an endless list of things to do for all the family.

Hope this helps and we look forward to seeing you all during the Summer months.
