Solution
Ready meals
Explanation:
A primary carbon footprint measures only the direct pollution we cause ourselves by burning fuel or using electricity, such as driving a car, running home appliances, or using a laundry dryer. Ready meals are different because they cause indirect pollution through the factory processing, plastic packaging, and long-distance transport needed to bring the food to the store.
