There are many habits that we can change to make a positive impact on the environment including changes to our diet:
•“Minimize food waste and take only what you will eat (food sitting in landfills emits harmful methane gas).
•Eat more seasonal and regional foods since they are less likely to have been air-freighted to you. It can be as simple as topping a sandwich with grilled onions rather than out-of-season tomatoes.
•Limit beef and cheese consumption (since the ruminant animals these foods come from emit methane gas).
•If it's processed or packaged, try to skip it. This kind of food takes a lot of energy to produce, and often, the packaging is wasteful.”
Honestly, I have yet to adjust my own habits to these recommendations. Nonetheless, it is something to strive for.
