The Impact of UK Households on the Environment
This article looks at the impact UK households make on the environment through the direct and indirect generation of greenhouse gas emissions.
This article presents a regional breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions directly and indirectly generated by UK households. Direct emissions arise from heating, cooking and use of privately owned vehicles while indirect emissions arise from electricity generation, the use of public transport and the demand for other goods and services. The greenhouse emissions are broken down by UK region, by size of household and by age of head of household. The emissions are also broken down by source; that is, energy, transport and other goods and services.
