Election letters 2019 / Carbon footprint?

Out of interest, the SNP have by plane, train, car and boat sent to Shetland this last few weeks:

  • Ian Blackford MP
  • Alison Thewliss MP
  • Chris Law MP
  • Margaret Ferrier MP
  • John Swinney MSP
  • Christian Allard MEP
  • John Mason MSP
  • Nicola Sturgeon MSP, three times
  • Peter Murrell
  • Alasdair Allan MSP
  • Ross Colquhoun
  • Jenny Gilruth MSP
  • Shona Robison MSP
  • Alyn Smith MEP
  • Ruth Maguire MSP
  • Cllr Jordan Linden
  • Keith Brown MSP
  • Claire Adamson MSP
  • Gillian Martin MSP
  • Derek Mackay MSP
  • Michael Matheson MSP
  • Mhairi Black MP

Not to mention the endless amount of ‘SNP students’.

The question I have is, what is the carbon footprint of all this unnecessary travelling with the SNP government having recently declared a climate change emergency?
