The easiest and most impactful choice you can make is to eat low carbon emission foods.
But don’t worry! There are many diets that reduce your carbon emissions.
Find an eco friendly diet that fits your lifestyle below!
Flexitarian
You don’t have to completely ditch meat to make a huge impact on carbon emissions. Choosing to eat a plant-based diet most of the time (example, 5-6 days a week) can reduce your personal carbon impact by 35%!
Pescatarian
You can also swap farm-based meats for fish! Though it depends on the species, fish tend to have a lower carbon footprint than other meats.
Vegetarian
Vegetarian diets are also a great way to prioritize the climate when choosing what to eat. Eating vegetarian cuts your personal emissions by 30%. It is also a myth that meat is required for health- protein, iron, and micronutrients can be found in plants.
Vegan
A vegan diet is by far the best at reducing carbon emissions, and it has the smallest environmental impact. In fact, if you eat vegan, you’ll cut your emissions, water pollution impact, and land use by 75%!
Eating vegan simply means omitting animal products from your diet, though this can look different for different people (For example, some people consume honey, some don’t) You can even keep in a few animal products and still be making a huge difference.
