If you love the planet, you won’t only
count calories. You can now count carbon cost.
Instead of eating a banana from Ecuador flown
here on a carbon dioxide emitting jet, eat an
apple from close by, that means produced locally,
not far from the consumer. The carbon cost of
all food is about one third of all greenhouse
gasses so if we all lower our carbon cost we
will also slow down the oncoming global climate
disaster. In order to stop it completely we
will still have to do more, but the cutting
carbon cost of our food will help. |
