Latest from the Global Warming Rubber Room: UHT instead of ‘Traditional’ Milk

October 17, 2007 By jennifer

Reported first in The Times:

The UHT route to long-life planet

It’s enough to put the nation off breakfast. Civil servants have suggested that Britons put long-life milk in tea and pour it on their cornflakes to save the planet from global warming.

Officials at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs have made a serious proposal that consumers switch to UHT (Ultra-High Temperature or Ultra-Heat Treated) milk to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Officials have calculated that by reducing chiller capacity in supermarkets, convenience stores and corner shops, carbon emissions would be significantly reduced. The move is not against the domestic use of fridges; UHT milk, once opened, must be refrigerated.

and now in Australia:

Save the world: buy UHT milk

BRITONS may be banned from drinking “traditional milk” in favour of the long-life variety in order to save the environment, according to a government strategy.

    Did Gore add a UK UHT milk plant to his portfolio?

    “Officials have calculated that by reducing chiller capacity in supermarkets, convenience stores and corner shops, carbon emissions would be significantly reduced”

    Now I suppose we could all install bigger units at home or have all the fresh stuff pulped and dried into powders.

    Hey the plastic packets could have even more numbers!

    Imagine reconstituting food at home with the PC programmed to get that fresh look

    It’s time we put policy advisers out on the farm for a year or two them add a crash course in the meat works and the cheese factory.
