Sustainable Food & Drink
Our sustainable food and drink choices directly determine the methods used to produce food within our environment, and the quality of the food and drink we ingest to maintain our wellbeing. So how do we move our diet toward a sustainable and healthy path?
Eat Organic Produce
Too many pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in your energy intensive genetically modified food? Try eating organic.
Eat Less Meat
Replace one meat meal per week with a vegetarian option. Land used for beans and vegetables produces 10 times as much protein as land used for raising beef.
Buy Local and Seasonal Food
Locally produced food that is grown in sync with the seasons is fresher, and it doesn't take as much energy to produce it and transport it to you.
Don't Eat Endangered Fish
Avoid eating overfished and threatened fish species.
Avoid Genetically Modified (GM) Food
Avoid eating Genetically Modified Food and demand more thorough testing and mandatory labelling of genetic crops and foods.
