1. Buy Local Produce
Eating food that comes from nearby farms helps the environment. When we buy local, we cut down on the energy used to transport food. Did you know that around 11% of harmful gases harming our planet come from moving food around?
2. Eat Less Meat
Raising animals for food adds a lot to global pollution—about 14.5%. If everyone ate half as much meat, each person could lower their carbon footprint by up to 1.5 tons every year. That’s a big difference!
3. Support Organic Farming
Farming without chemicals, called organic farming, can save a lot of energy—up to 45% less than regular farming. This not only helps keep our food healthy but also helps the environment.
4. Start a Home Garden
Growing your own fruits and vegetables is a great way to cut out transportation entirely. When you garden at home, you get fresh food without chemicals. Plus, it's rewarding to eat what you’ve grown!
5. Waste Less Food
Did you know that about 30% of food gets thrown away? This waste is responsible for 8-10% of harmful gases in the world. Composting can really help reduce this waste and turn it into something useful for plants.
