5. Eat Sustainable Foods
Over the last 50+ years, large-scale food production has exploded with the global food market generating over 8 trillion U.S. dollars in revenue and it is expected to increase over the next few years and reach around 9.1 trillion U.S. dollars in 2025. Currently, that production accounts for as much as 25 percent of the greenhouse emissions.
The way you can help is by buying from local farmers and ones who aim to conserve the natural resources and have as little impact on the land as possible. Another thing you can do is change your diet by eating more whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts, and less red meats and processed foods. Finally, you can actually grow your own food as there’s something to be said about tucking into something you’ve grown yourself.
