When it comes to climate change, there are many things that we can do as individuals to help to prevent the situation from getting worse. From taking public transport, walking or cycling to work, to building using natural and sustainable materials like these Timberpride oak extensions.
Something else which has a huge impact on climate change is food. Being considerate of the food that we eat, is not only something that we can do to help the environment, but it is also something that will be better for us too. Here are some of the ways that you can make your eating habits more sustainable…
Eat Less Meat – Meat and the farming of it, has a detrimental effect on the environment. Eating less meat or even none at all and replacing it with fruits and vegetables is not only good for the planet but also much better for your overall health.
Buy Local Produce – Food that has travelled a long way to be with you is not great for the environment, and also of course is not as fresh. Eating food that has been grown and produced locally also helps out local businesses.
Don’t eat Products Containing Palm Oil – Forests in Indonesia are being destroyed and replaced with palm oil plantations. This is hugely damaging for the eco-system and puts thousands of species of plants and animals at risk of extinction.
