Reduce Your Meat Intake
One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reduce your meat intake. According to a report by the United Nations, the meat industry is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector combined. By incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet, you can help reduce your impact on the environment. With Just a Bite Better, you can set goals to help you consume less meat and more meat substitutes to help keep you accountable.
Buy Local and Seasonal Produce
Another way to reduce your carbon footprint is to buy local and seasonal produce. When you buy produce that is grown locally, it doesn't have to travel as far to get to you, reducing transportation emissions. And when you buy produce that is in season, it doesn't require as much energy to grow and transport, further reducing your carbon footprint.
Eat Plant-Based Meals
Eating a plant-based diet has been shown to have numerous health benefits, but it also benefits the planet. Producing animal products requires significantly more resources than producing plant-based foods. By incorporating more plant-based meals into our diets, we can reduce our environmental impact and improve our health at the same time. Just a Bite Better can help you set a goal to eat more plant-based ingredients!
Reduce Food Waste
Reducing food waste is another step you can take to help the environment. By being mindful of the food you buy and the portions you serve, you can reduce the amount of food that ends up in landfill.
Here at Just a Bite Better, we're committed to helping you build healthy habits that are good for you and the planet. By making small changes to your eating habits, you can significantly impact the environment. So this Earth Month, let's all do our part to build a healthier planet, one bite at a time.
Cheers,
