Eat only what you need. Repurpose what you don’t. Less wasted food means fewer emissions, less cooking and more easy, tasty leftovers.
Eliminate or reduce your beef consumption—43 per cent of food-related emissions from the average Canadian come from beef alone. We could have had our beef and eaten it too if we’d followed the agreements laid out in the Kyoto Protocol, but we’re now at a point where food emissions also need to fall to avoid the worst of climate change.
Vote with your fork. This is a first step to demand change from your political leaders. The more we talk about our own dietary changes and what matters to us, the more politicians will begin to care about policies that bring positive changes to our food systems.
I agree with the premise that each person does what they can, when they can.
However we can’t forget to also put pressure on the giant conglomerates pumping out oil/gas emissions without consequence. No matter how vegan we go, it will never be enough if the big corpos keep getting away with being the worst outputters.
The more sustainable the population becomes the less permissible it is for fossil fuel corporations to exist.
