Eat cleaner & greener
How to eat more sustainably?
Along with travel and energy, food is one of the biggest parts of our carbon footprint. In fact, the emissions from our 'food system’ (that’s everything from growing to packaging to shipping) make up over a quarter of global emissions.
So if you want to reduce your carbon footprint it’s worth understanding that not all foods are created equal.

What can you do about it
Reduce the amount of meat, particularly beef, you eat, as this will significantly reduce your carbon footprint. If you’re a meat lover, we recommend you embrace the ever-improving plant-based or lab grown alternatives.
