Want to make a big environmental effort in the grocery store without having to have a nerd check?
Here are our five best ways to eat environmentally smart.
1. Chill in green
Enjoy a lot of vegetarian food. It is the most important thing you can do to eat environmentally smart. When you buy meat, organic is best.
2. Switch to Echo…
… You contribute to healthier water, happier animals, smaller toxins and more birds and flowers in our nature. And in countries like Brazil, nature doesn’t need to be poisoned or people injured when they pick your bananas or harvest your coffee beans.
For you to know that a food is organic, it smokes that it says “organic” on the packaging.
3. Smell and taste
A large amount of food goes straight down the garbage. Plan your purchases and rely more on your senses than on the best-before date. Try to avoid throwing away any good food.
4. Choose fine fish
Most of the seas are so heavily fished that our most common food fish are running out. Unfortunately, farmed fish is not the solution to the problem, as fish feed often consists of a lot of – just that – fish. So when you want to treat yourself a bit, choose the ASC and MSC and other certifications that are the best possible environmental choices for consumers, according to WWF. By choosing seafood that has them, you contribute to a consumption that does not deplete the seas.
5. Shop with the drama
Your drive to the store is probably a bigger environmental crap than your favorite food from the other side of the globe. Therefore, try to shop without the car now and then. Drive hard with the playwright, bike bag or arm muscles instead!
