Amersham and Chesham has Britain's biggest carbon footprint
8:00am Saturday 5th December 2009
HOUSEHOLDERS in Amersham and Chesham produce more carbon dioxide than anyone else in the country, a new survey has revealed.
Research by data analysts Experian shows the average home in the Parliamentary constituency covering the two south Bucks towns produces 29.18 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.
Neighbouring Beaconsfield was third on the list, with the average household producing 28.79 tonnes per year.
High Wycombe was 44th, with its 25.55 tonnes per household still well above the national average of 21.95 tonnes.
The lowest emissions were produced in the Glasgow North East constituency, where the average home emits 16.37 tonnes of CO2 annually.
