Let's talk about veggies! For many of us, meat is a staple in our diet. If you're not ready to dive into a plant-based diet, start small with something like "meatless Mondays"!

​

If you can, shop at farmer's markets! Buying locally sourced food reduces unnecessary plastic packaging and the overall carbon footprint. 

​

When shopping at grocery stores, opt for bulk items with zero, or no, packaging. Don't forget to bring reusable containers like jars and mesh produce bags!

​

Meal plan and make grocery lists before you head to the store to avoid over buying, which will in turn reduce your food waste. 

​

The creation of new farmland can destroy natural habitat. To reduce the need for new farmland, reduce the amount of food you waste! About 1/3 of the global food produced (~1.3 billion tonnes) is wasted. The next time you cook, try using all of the vegetable! Broccoli stems are often discarded, but taste really good when cooked with other foods!
