Tip 12: Eat Less Meat & Dairy
Choosing to eat less meat and dairy isn’t just good for you, it’s also good for the environment! One-third of all food emissions in our country come from red meat and dairy products.
According to Greenpeace, raising livestock creates as much greenhouse gas emissions as all vehicle emissions combined! In contrast, vegetables and chicken have a carbon footprint that is 10 times smaller per serving than red meat and dairy. Reducing the amount of animal products you consume can make a huge difference in your personal carbon footprint.
Most resolutions aren’t kept because they require too much change or commitment, so when it comes to adjusting your diet, don’t bite off more than you can chew! Even a small change in your diet can help the climate significantly, like excluding meat from one meal a day, adding more fresh fruits or veggies to your diet or even switching to organic produce.
How can you introduce more (organic or natural) fresh vegetables and fruits into your diet? How could this impact the environment? How could a home garden contribute to your and your family's overall health?
