What Is The Most Impactful Way To Slow Climate Change?

It’s clear that we all need to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. We are running out of time, but there is still hope. One answer to the climate crisis is what we put on our plates...

Three ways we can help you reduce your impact: 

• The power of plants: Cutting back on meat & dairy can reduce your carbon footprint by 60%. Going fully plant-based will reduce it to 73%.
• Reducing food waste: The average UK family wastes 24 meals a month. That’s 68 kg of food each year per person.
• Conscious sourcing: Eating only locally grown food for one year would save the greenhouse gas equivalent of driving 1,000 miles.
