What did you learn about dietary choices from using the footprint calculator? Now imagine that you could translate what you learned into an effective societal policy on food- what would it be? And how would this policy effect the need to alleviate world hunger?
925 million people on earth do not have enough to eat according to the FAO [Food and Agricultural Organization]. That's almost 1 in 7 inhabitants of our planet!

Food and Hunger- How can what you eat to reduce your carbon footprint?
The food you eat can impact your carbon footprint. To reduce it, do not waste because food that’s thrown away decomposes in landfills and emits methane, potent greenhouse gas. Reusable bags are also useful to avoid continuous plastic and reduce greenhouse emissions. More ways to reduce carbon through your diet is eat less meat, try plant- based protein, cut back on diary, eat more fiber foods, grow your own produce, don't eat excess calories, and purchase local food.
