One Simple Food Idea to Minimize Climate Change

Eat all the food you buy.
That's it, you will reduce pollution that leads to climate change; here's how:

Consider all the fuel, resources and electricity used to bring this plate of food to your table. If you eat all the food you buy, rather than throw it away, all the energy below will be used to feed you with no waste. If you buy less food because you've reduced waste, then you'll reduce climate change.

1. fertilizer resource
2. fertilizer transport energy
3. tractor fuel for plowing and seeding
4. energy to filter and pump water to the farm
5. water to grow the crops
6. harvesting tractor fuel
7. transport crops fuel to processing
8. processing crops fuel or electricity
9. packaging plastic and paper resources
10. plastic, tree and paper transport
11. packaging printing ink and electrical energy
12. transport fuel to grocery store
13. refrigeration energy (if needed)
14. transport fuel for your car to and from the grocery store
15. cooking fuel or electricity
16. refrigeration fuel
