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. 

Here is the website link to the statistics on farm land:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/196 … ince-2000/

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.

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.

eating leftovers or using leftovers

something that everyone can do to reduce there carbon footprint is eating less meat. Even though i do realize meat is a crucial part of a lot of people’s diets and not an easy thing to give up, i still think a lot of people aren’t aware of the serious affects meat has on our environment. The 1st thing i have to say about meat is how much land it takes to raise meat that is fully grown, one thing i’m not sure most of you know is that feeding someone who is vegan for a year takes only 1/6th of an acre of land while someone on a meat and dairy diet for a year uses 18 times that amount of land. i think this is a very scary statistic but also a very real one, raising meat does use a lot of land and meat eaters have to realize that. the 2nd thing i have to say about meat is how much methane cows produce. cows produce this methane through there farts, burps or poop, we contribute to this by eating cows. considering how many cows are bred because of the demand we put on them meaning more of the methane that cows produce is going up into the atmosphere. i think it is a really good idea for people to consider eating less meat and dairy meals each week as it is a great way to help save our planet and reduce your carbon footprint.

According to the Food and Agricultural Organization, over 900 million people on Earth don’t have enough food to eat. This is nearly 1 in 7 inhabitants on Earth. Assessing our carbon footprint in correlation with our dietary choices shows that plant-based diets, often vegan or vegetarian, substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions as opposed to meat-heavy diets.

I agree with you, eating less meat is a great way to help the planet. Raising animals uses a lot of land. A vegan diet can cut land use by up to 75% (University of Oxford), which means more space for vegetation and animals. Also, cows release a gas called methane, which traps heat and harms the atmosphere. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) says methane is over 25 times stronger than carbon dioxide. Even eating a few plant based meals each week can lower your carbon footprint and help the Earth.

Hunger is a big problem in the world today. Millions of people don’t have enough food, even though there’s enough to go around. I learned on the i2sea site that small actions can help big issues like this. For example, food drives at schools or donating to local food banks can really make a difference. One time, my family helped pack food at a local shelter. It felt good to know that we were helping others. I think if more people helped out in their communities, we could fight hunger together. We can all do something, even if it’s small.

While most of us can choose when and what to eat, millions of people around the world wonder if they’ll even have anything to eat at all. Huge amounts of food are thrown away every day, often because we prepare portions that are too large to finish. It’s time to become more aware of our habits. We should cook only as much as we really need, without excess. That way, we not only reduce food waste, but also show responsibility and respect for those who don’t even have the basics.

I agree. It's truly shocking to see how much food is truly wasted throughout the world. It's difficult for me to even comprehend that the United States wastes about 30-40% of what is grown. Furthermore, I am truly disappointed when I find uneaten meals simply in the trash, knowing that there are others who don't even know where they will get their next meal. I also feel that sharing and teaching others is a great idea! I believe teachers should educate the reduction of food waste to their students, and encourage the composting of raw foods.

I totally agree. I think worldwide food waste has become a major problem, especially in the U.S. I think many Americans have been taking food for granted. The Recycle Track System states that America wastes, “nearly 60 million tons — 120 billion pounds — every year”. We need to start cooking smaller portions of food because the food industry has normalized giant portions of food that the average person shouldn’t be able to finish. I think if America adjusts to making smaller portions of food and normalizing finishing what is on your plate, then Americans could reduce their food waste. I also think that restaurants typically throw away all their leftover food after a day. So instead of throwing away leftovers right away they could hand that food out to people who need it, like the homeless. That way, restaurants could reduce their amount of food waste and give food to those who are in dire need.

I completely agree with your argument. Especially in first-world countries, food waste has become such a big problem that has yet to be dealt with because it is not considered as big of a contribution to global warming as other things such as manufacturing and overconsumption are. My aunt works in the food waste industry, therefore I have grown up around a family that really considers the inappropriate use of food, and I still believe that it has been taken for granted. Food waste has become normalized in daily life, and many people don’t realize the environmental impact it has. Your post brings attention to an issue that is often ignored, and I think more awareness and responsibility are needed to create real change. One possible solution is implementing stronger food education programs in schools and communities to teach people how to shop, store, and consume food more sustainably.

It's scary how much food we waste. Like, if we had mac&cheese for a lunch, ofcourse we don't manage to eat everything. Most of the people throw those leftovers. But for environment would be better if we kept those and eat it later. It's really not always about environment, we should be aware that many people, not only from Africa, don't have enough for a portion of rice. Like, one average meal you eat for luch can basically feed three kids. What do you do with leftovers and do you ever throw food?

I completely agree with what you are saying. It is crazy to see how much food people waste, especially in the US. An article says that the US wastes 60 million tons of food every year, which is nearly 40% of the food supply. It also goes on to say that in many cases, it is because of misread labels like "sell by" and "use by". This leads to a lot of food waste because people will toss the perfectly good food, thinking that it is unsafe to eat. To stop food waste, not just for the environment but also for people who don't have as many resources, we need to educate people about labels and make them easier to understand. Additionally, I have seen many restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory that have very large portions, and often, a lot of food goes to waste. Restaurants like these should also consider scaling down their portions to have less food waste.

I agree with this. Even at school, I look in the trash cans/compost bins and see food plates that are only half eaten. I understand not being super hungry, but people need to be more mindful with their eating habits. It's as simple as this: if you know that you aren't very hungry, don't buy a huge meal. However, we need to keep in mind the restaurants and companies that put this upon their consumers. Many restaurants give their customers portions that they cannot finish, leading to the food getting tossed. As consumers and providers, it's crucial that we be more mindful about the food we are throwing away and buying, and if it's necessary.

I learned that my eating habits aren’t that great. I eat a lot of food, but what I don’t eat I just throw in the trash. I should be composting a lot more. If I could tell everyone in the world to compost more and everyone did it, I think the world would be a lot better off. The food that we don’t eat would be turned into fertilizer which could help more food and we would have more food over a long time. The more food we have, the less people go hungry.

I agree with you. Hunger is a global problem and while we're wasting resources too much some people don't even have food to eat or water to drink. We should make our local communities collect food for those in need and give it to our city's charity so they can make meals for the poor.

I agree, I think people eat a lot of food and throw a whole meal away. I think we should use that extra food to donate it to food banks or give it to some homeless people. We can make a big change to the world if we implement this internationally.

I was really surprised to see, especially with how much meat is processed and consumed in the U.S, how much a meat based diet impacted my family's carbon footprint. My family does not buy very many material items or clothing on a yearly basis compared to other families in the U.S. and because our house is powered by solar, as well as putting into use items such as a smart thermostat, I did not think that our carbon emissions would be very high. However, because my family has such a meat based diet, it more than covered the decreased levels in the Home and Clothing emissions. This leads me to realize that with greater efforts in vegetarianism and lowering the consumption of meat could help not only the world but us and our bodies. Furthermore, with more access to farms and a turn towards a more stable and natural diet, there could also be a decrease in food shortage and hunger. Less land would be grazed by cows or used to house our livestock, instead that land could be used for more square footage of soil for growing or developing ecological solutions such as vertical farming.

I have noticed that the consumption of plants and organic foods have dropped in the recent months and around my region. These changes were recorded through this ISCFC site and explain the exact reasons and its impacts: Expensive green foods. I infer that counties and cities should lower the prices of vegetables and pre made salads so everyone has the opportunity to eat healthy and lower their carbon footprint.

Many people go hungry everyday across the globe, often because of wars, poverty and climate change. Children especially suffer the most, as lack of food effects their growth and well being. But at the same time countries waste a big sum of their food, showing how unfair the problem is. I think we need to work together as a community, share resources better and make the world a better place.

I agree with Kaydancolt! I think that we should think of others when we buy or eat more food than we need we should do everything we can to support starving children in war torn and impoverished countries rather than ourselves because they need it way more than us.

Yes Kayden you bring up a great point people are very focused on other things when there are homeless starving children out there. I think one way us as a community can help is by sending donations or emailing our government officials about this so the topic gets more known. This topic definitely deserves more attention because this is our youth the ones that can  make the change.

Yes I agree with Kaydancolt!, KPR#31 and, Hugo_2010 because I think it is a very pressing and urgent issue and I think I have come up with a way to solve it.  The idea I had stemmed from a documentary I saw cowspiracy it basically said that instead of feeding people in need meat we could instead redirect all the food that cows are getting like corn and other grains and help donate them to people in need because it is 10% more of an efficient food source than beef so that's why I think we should redirect a lot of the resources being used up on meat and give it to those who. need it.

Kaydancolt!, KPR#31, Hugo_2010 and santbuzz are all correct! Food security is a very pressing issue all over the world. Meat farming is very bad for the environment and definitely makes food security trickier for many people over the world as more food goes to animals than people who need it. many biodiversity hotspots are also being threatened by the ranching industry, such as the Amazon (the rainforest, not the company). in the amazon, one acre (about one football field) is destroyed every second. and hundreds of species go extinct per day. this means in a few decades, this carbon sink will be replaced by massively carbon emitting cows. This means more land needs to be turned into farms that only feed the ranch animals further depleting the finite area we have to make food for ourselves. This means a higher overall price of food and more starving individuals.

Yes, I totally agree with Kaydancolt. Hunger is a big problem. Many people are suffering while some people don't care about others. We need to help people, we could make donations and raise money for them or send them food. We also need to stop throwing away leftovers and make somethnig out of it so no food has been thrown in the trash. Together we can make the world a better place!

Many people go hungry everyday across the globe, often because of wars, poverty and climate change. Children especially suffer the most, as lack of food effects their growth and well being. But at the same time countries waste a big sum of their food, showing how unfair the problem is. I think we need to work together as a community, share resources better and make the world a better place.

I agree with you.Hunger is a serious issue affecting millions of people around the world,especially children.While some parts of the world waste large amounts of food,others struggle to get even water.We need to work together to distribute resources more fairly,reduce food waste,and help those in need.

dont waste food

i agree there is so much more we can do for them but there are other factors we need to account for like the political and governmental fashions. there to much on their hands right  now to help them but they have been doing the best they can throughout the people's struggles

Lots of people suffer with hunger, it could be cause by the lack of access like not nearby grocery stores or fast food places. Children suffering with this issue can lead to health issues and impact them in there immune system, and growth as well. This is another reason why we all need to work together encouraging others to not waste food.

I agree because there are so many people that can use our help to just not waste food. Its such a simple thing that everyone can do and it would help our society and ecosystem in so may ways. It also just makes me feel bad when I throw away left over food because I know that it could have gone to someone else in need. I think that everyone should always try their best to not waste food unless they absolutely have to because it will benefit our earth in so many ways.

world hunger at face value seems like an unsolvable problem but I believe I have an idea to help make it a smaller issue compared to what it is right now.  My idea for helping with the ginormous problem that world hunger is stems from the fact that in the energy pyramid only 10 percent of the energy consumed by one of the organisms can travel up 1 level up the pyramid so I think to help with world hunger we could stop feeding the amount of grain and other foods that are at the base of the food pyramid and give it to people in need instead of using it to feed cows or chickens because only 10% of the energy in the grain goes up to the cow unlike eating the grain/corn and not eating the cows I believe that this can help a lot of the issues ninth world today because people would have much easier access to food a neccesary resource for living

I agree with this idea. Because meat is so grain and water intensive, it would make more sense to feed lower down the food chain. For example, to produce 1kg of beef, you need on average 25kgs of grain. This is not economical when world hunger is so prevalent. If we switched to more plant-based diets, we would require less land to grow food, while feeding more people, and we could help prevent deforestation and habitat clearing. I do recognize that there are constraints to being vegan/vegetarian, so instead of fully cutting out all meat, we could at least strongly reduce meat consumption.

I agree with santbuzz I feel like there are too many animals used for agriculture and that there are too many starving people in the world to just give all of our grains and other plant food to animals just so that the more well off people can survive and eat well. Plus animal agriculture is one of the #1 contributors to carbon emissions which causes global warming. So I think we should cut down on those emissions and help out the less fortunate by feeding less cattle and chickens and feeding more people.

Did you know eating 1 burger takes 3000 Litres of water which is equivalent to 2 mouths shower. Also every second 1 football fields with of land is farmed for animal agriculture.
51% of all co2 emissions are clouded by animal agriculture, do you think people need to talk more about this subject since its a big matter?

I agree with the Canadian man called Hugo_2010 because I for one think this is not talked enough about and there is definitely some evidence on why in the hit movie/documentary called cowspiracy and it shows very well the theme of your post and I think it should definitely have more attention drawn to it because it is one of the if not the biggest leading cause for climate change

I also agree with your statements Hugo_2010 and santbuzz but especially with santbuzz. I think that this subject is not discussed more frequently, and also I have watched that amazing documentary Cowspiracy it details and shows about the importance about our trees and animals. Lastly when your eating a burger I hope that u realize that the patty had a face and takes 3000 litres of water.
