Eating green is the most significant single
action we can all do to combat global warming just because it is a routine that all human beings share.
Undoubtedly, going for locally-sourced foods can help save Mother Earth as it does away with the climate-change impacts of
transporting these goods. Getting your fresh foods from the local
farm nearest you will mean less carbon footprints. Moreover, your healthy food be even less expensive than those available in
grocery stores.
Our diet is indeed killing us, and it's killing the planet too. Because of the past-paced lives that we lead, individuals often go for processed meat products and other ready-to-eat options in the grocery stores. While some of that quantity gets thrown away, most is consumed long before it can go stale on the shelves.
The population is now bordering on obesity. And once a person's weight is on all-time high, that individual's risk of
contacting cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease etc. also increases. Eating nitrite-treated meats have been found to cause diabetes and colon cancer. As such, meat eaters should ease up
on their meat consumption by scheduling meatless days in a week.
By moderating animal protein and preserved meats consumption, you make yourself healthier. Cutting back on meat consumption also helps the environment as it is the highest
resource-intensive food. Half pound of beef daily is equal to the
amount of carbon dioxide emitted by a car travelling every 38 miles.
Do the ecosystem and your body a great deal of good
by eating green. Join the green lifestyle eaters who take less of a
chunk of environment that manufacturing millions of animal product.
With less demand for animal produce, you save a few animals from
being slaughtered indiscriminately by factory farming. There will be
less greenhouse methane gas from animal manure to pollute lands and
rivers.
Our food and health choices really do
have a profound effect on the planet we live in. By simply
making an effort to eat green, you will be surprised at how big you can contribute as an individual. Going vegan for life
will be a meaningful environmental choice ultimately.
