The Christmas eco-threats: sprouts and sauce - Times Online

Cranberry sauce, Brussels sprouts, Nintendo Wiis and digital photo frames have been condemned for their negative impact on climate change.

Christmas dinners in Britain have been calculated to produce 51,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. The amount is equivalent to a car travelling 148 million miles, slightly less than the distance between the Sun and Mars.

Turkeys were responsible for the most emissions, and cranberry sauce was singled out as having a disproportionately high carbon footprint.
