💨 Abstract

A recent thread on Reddit highlighted a London restaurant, The Pig and Butcher, adding a 'Carbon Free' fee to customers' bills. The fee, optional and flat at £1.23 per table, supports a tree-planting charity and sustainability initiatives. Critics argue it is deceptive and sneaky, adding unexpected costs to diners' bills. Consumer expert Jane Hawkes advises against such hidden charges, emphasizing the need for transparency and customer choice.
