What they don&#8217;t realize is whether you drive a Hummer, a Prius, or ride a bike, as humans we are all contributing to climate change.. three times a day actually, starting with breakfast, lunch, and dinner (dessert counts too!) While the transportation sector might be thought as being the most detrimental to climate change, in reality it is the food sector that is the most responsible for greenhouse gas emissions leading to global warming. In fact, livestock alone contributes to more GHG emissions than the worlds TOTAL transportation emissions. People have heard the whole &#8220;reduce, reuse, recycle&#8221; as a common guide\u00a0to solving the climate crisis, however they are unaware of another way to lessen climate change.. starting right from our dinner plates. Greenhouse gasses are involved in every step\u00a0of the food sector: production, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste&#8211; we are all guilty of that! With the entire process of food production being hidden from the modern eater it is no wonder why it is commonly forgotten to be seen as a HUGE contributor to global warming. In her book, Diet For A Hot Planet, Anna Lappe maps out a recipe for change in seven principles to follow in order to have a climate-friendly diet. 1. Eat Real\/Whole Foods 2. Fill your plate with plants 3. Go Organic 4. Go Local 5. Eliminate your food waste 6. Consider packaging 7. DIY Food. This seems like an easy enough recipe to follow, and it certainly is beneficial to not only the planet&#8217;s health but our individual health as well, so why hasn&#8217;t this recipe for change caught on by all producers and consumers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upon hearing the phrase &#8220;climate change&#8221; most people would then associate it with the emissions from\u00a0gas-guzzling Hummers.
