how your food consumption can save the
environment
[Music]
meet Lisa Lisa is at the grocery store
with her fan Tony when she recognizes
something astonishing the pineapples and
the star originate from a country far
away Lisa is confused she thinks about
the distance Japan eppela heaven
transported is it possible that our food
consumption affects the environment
she asked Tony luckily Tony is an expert
in this field about 25 percent of the
greenhouse emissions result from global
agriculture and food production there is
more pollution than all the cars in the
world produce both production and
transportation create noxious emission
gazes that increases global warming
significantly animal products and
especially Mead had the great impact
this is because they require much more
resources than greens such as land feed
a water one kilogram of beef for example
requires more than 15,000 liters of
water and emits about 14 to 20 kilograms
of the mission gazes whereas one
kilogram of salad only causes 0.5
kilogram of emissions
[Music]
this has shocked what can she do about
it
Tony knows the answer again reduce
eating animal products you don't have to
go vegan but eating many fruits and
vegetables thus more environmentally
friendly than eating meat and saving the
climate starts even before food
consumption take the public transport
bike or go by foot when doing small
shopping stop wasting food by only what
you need and cook portion that you can
finish this is happy now she understands
how our food consumption affects the
environment and what she can do to save
it
she puts the pineapple back instead she
grabs a few pairs from now on only
regional products will make it into her
shopping bag
