​University of Tokyo Co-op Cafeteria Menu CFP Display Initiatives
Copy Carbon Footprint Label-12 copy.png

Does this display look familiar to you?

This display is a label designed by GXSN that displays CFP (carbon footprint).

 

We at GXSN are participating in an initiative to display CFP along with menus at the University of Tokyo's co-op cafeteria for five days from January 22nd (Monday) to January 26th (Friday).

 

CFP (carbon footprint) is a calculation of the total amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide emitted directly and indirectly through our daily activities (see below for how to calculate).

One person's actions may seem small, but your actions can influence the actions of others and become the catalyst for a larger movement.

quiz!

Q. Sort the following menus in descending order of emissions.

  • Chicken Tatsutadon

  • NEXT Kimchi Kalbi bowl (soybean meat)

  • Spicy miso pork bowl

  • Oil sardine bowl (sardine)

＜Bonus＞

  • Grilled chicken (with rice)

  • Kitsunesoba

  • Miso boiled mackerel set meal

Hint!

Multiple studies have shown that emissions tend to be high in meat such as beef and mutton, slightly high in pork, moderate in meat such as chicken, and low in beans, grains, and potatoes.It is. Seafood products generally have medium to low emissions depending on the type, with small floating fish such as mackerel and sardines having the lowest emissions. The greenhouse gas emissions of domestically produced mackerel and sardines have also been calculated in a laboratory at the University of Tokyo, and the results are similar to those found in overseas studies.

​

*By referring to these general trends and local production for local consumption initiatives, it is possible to consider eating habits with emissions in mind, even for foods that are not labeled with CFP.
