I think food prices for organic foods should be more cheaper compared to the cheap processed foods that increase gases.

Things that can be used with leftovers include compost, which is great for the soil your plants grow in. Additionally, it reduces the need to use chemical fertilizers, which is beneficial for the planet since they release greenhouse gases into the air.

I totally agree with you, composting your leftovers from food can be an amazing fertilizer. On top of that, people can start growing their own produce using the compost and it will turn into a cycle that reduces food waste and promotes clean eating.

I think an interesting way to reduce my home carbon footprint is to only grocery shop for a few days at a time instead of the whole week, thereby increasing the chance that no food is left out throughout the week.

So apparently I got more kgs in home and food, but I don't understand what I should do to bring it down. Any ideas?

I must eat more organic and less processed foods to make less environmental destruction.

chocolate makes me very happy i eat it lots

According to https://concernusa.org/news/world-hunger-facts/ "the world produces enough food to feed all of its 8 billion people, yet 733 million people (1 in 11) go hungry every day. 2.8 billion people around the world (35% of the global population) cannot afford a healthy diet.
That percentage is even higher in low-income countries, where 71.5% of people cannot afford a healthy diet." (as of 2025)
Sustainable eating is great, but almost impossible when you are struggling to just get any food to eat. If you can afford to eat sustainably, by all means do so. But for poorer people, they don't think to eat sustainably, because they don't have the money to do so. Lowering the price of sustainable, environmentally friendly food would be wonderful. So would making it more accessible/advertising it more. Even if people have the money to buy environmentally friendly food, why eat it when there is far cheaper, better tasting fast food like McDonalds? Sustainable food needs to be more mainstream, less costly, and something that is easily available to the general public. Thanks.

In my research, I have found that adopting a vegan diet is one way to save on the environmental impact caused by raising farm animals. Now more than ever there is a lot of healthy, balanced ways to consume a plant-based diet. One of these ways I have found was through the recipes Baking Hermann has showed me. Baking Herman is a website founded on principles of sustainability. Baking Hermann spotlights plant-based meals from around the world to show the diverse foods and meals that can be made.

Here is the website

I agree with what you are saying. I think a plant based diet helps reduce your carbon footprint a lot. Since the demand for meat has gotten much higher, farmers have been clearing way more land for there farm animals to live on as well as land to grow food for the animals. Valuable land too, a football field sized chunk of land is cleared every second for agriculture from rain forests. So eating less meat also saves our forests.

I think adopting a vegan diet is a great idea but for some people it is very hard to give up meat. Maybe if regular meat eaters only have meat 4 out of 6 day of the week it would make a big change. This would be way easier than a full vegan or Vega diet but will still have impacts. Another way could be to eat fast food burgers less because 1 burger is equivalent to 3000 gallons of water or 2 mouths showers so this would have a huge impact on water levels as well.

I 100% agree with your statements. I think that creating a plant based diet is healthy, and also it reduces your carbon footprint significantly. Although for meat eaters switching to a all plant based diet will be tough. I think that for meat eaters instead of eating meat all the time they should try and stick with a plant based diet for at least 4 times a week. Also switching to a plant based diet helps with the farmers so much, because raising these animals give a big chunk of their land so it will help them out a lot.

I agree with the idea of adopting a vegan diet will help with the environmental impact of animal agriculture, although I don’t think everyone should just stop eating meat and dairy. I think that people should cut down on their meat eating per week because some people have been eating meat their whole life’s and we can’t just tell them they’re not allowed any more. Although we can teach people more about where it comes from and let them decide whether they want to become vegan.

I agree with the vegan diet meal but it is quite hard for people who always had meat for the longest time will eventually start to adapt to having a little bit of fresh greens to having half of there meal attached to green foods.

I agree that a vegan diet would reduce the amount of carbon and even have a few other positive impacts but there are some negative impacts that should also be considered when having everyone adopt a vegan diet. In the US, in the year 2024 about 876,460 acres of land were used for farming which is a reason why deforestation happens. If more people were to adopt a vegan lifestyle then the demand for animal products would decrease and so would their populations. This would lead to less land needed for overpopulated animals who were mass produced in order to fill the demand for meat and other products. The economy would also suffer in response to this, such as farmers. Some people also require medical needs that wouldn’t work with a vegan diet and would require more supplements. Most people wouldn’t be willing to give up meat as well. Over all it all depends on the person but if more people adopted a vegan diet less carbon would be created.

I agree with possibly adopting a vegan diet, but I wonder for people that won't agree with it is there some other alternative to eating meat, like possibly eating impossible burgers or something? I feel like if you search for the right foods, or possibly the right meals that others have created it would at least be less meat consumption than most people already. Wish there was an in-between because a lot of other people won't agree with going to a vegan or vegetarian diet.

While I agree with what is being said it really is hard to just start being a vegan especially if you have grown up eating meat your whole life. I believe that a way to help the people who want to change their eating, but don't want to give up meat, is to find a happy balance between the two. For example eating vegetarian and/or vegan meals 4/7 days a week and eating meat based dishes the other 3. This kind of plan is a good way to start a less carbon filled eating journey in my opinion, but please tell me your thoughts about this.

there should be certain website that are recipes for things that are typically leftover ingredients

There are websites such as: https://realfood.tesco.com/what-can-i-make-with.html that enable you to enter some leftover ingredients you have (like potatoes, garlic, or onions) and it suggests recipes that you can make to use up loose bits and pieces. This is better for the planet because it means less food waste, as you are eating everything you've bought (and it saves you money, too).

I totally agree with you. This is an amazing way to use up all the ingredients that you have as leftovers. Like you said by doing this you can have less food waste and throw away less food. And if you do this you can save money, which is very important these days with the high prices of everything. I think it's also a great way to try something new and you never know you might like it.

I 100% agree with you. Most people have no idea how much food they throw away on daily basis. Using your leftovers for new recipes is a great way to lower your food waste. Not just that, but you are also saving money by not buying new food for every meal.

I really like the idea! Personally, I never knew about such websites, but now I'm intrigued. I like the appeal of reducing food waste, as people seem to throw away a lot more food than necessary. Also, I feel like these websites could encourage people to cook at home rather than eat fast food. It's a win-win for both the people and the environment.

I think there is so much you can do with leftover food- for example you can take watermelon rinds and pickle them, you can really get creative and find many uses for things, whether its to eat, or to reuse for other projects. Veggie scraps and meat bones can be boiled down to soup broths, and so much more

I completely agree, but lets not also forget composting too, you could pickle the watermelon rhines, or you could compost it and grow more watermelons.

This is such a good idea, and I completely agree. We should all use our leftovers in new recipes before throwing them away in order to limit food waste.

you must use what you have to stop waste.
