How you eat can help reduce carbon footprint
You help reduce carbon footprint by using some of the principles that World Wildlife Fund has outlined by shifting eating habits and diets that would be greater in plant-based diets and lower animal sourced foods. Meaning, eating more vegetables rather than majority of your diet being meat. This will greatly benefit your health as well, staying away from fewer processed foods, eating in moderation, and choosing more plants. Choosing locally grown plants and meat providers can help cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 30% - and you're more healthy - but also cut agricultural land use which frees up land that otherwise would be used to raise livestock or grow feed crops. Eating more plants (vegetables, or if you're into plant-based meat) helps reduce pressure on wild habitats, allowing forests and grasslands to regenerate, wildlife to recover and ecosystems to be more resilient.
