Meet the Food You Eat Environmental Scale
Scales are normally a great device to help in cooking or baking but have you ever seen one that measures the environmental impact of food? Well, now there is one and it is called the Meet the Food You Eat.
The scale works by looking at the carbon emitted by transporting a particular product from its country of origin to Denmark. Place an RFID tagged product on the appropriate arm and try to balance the scale with the tree shaped weights. The amount of trees used to balance the scale represents the number of actual trees it would take to offset that product’s carbon emissions over one year.
This scale can also be viewed as a hypothetical kitchen appliance or point to a future grocery store service. The data it uses is important but remains hidden to most people, and we hope this will not be the case for much longer.
