Eating Green is Better than Driving Green!
Klimagourmet, the Eco-Friendly Way to Eat and Save the Planet.

While the energy transition from the use of fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the most discussed solutions to fight the climate crisis, there is something we are missing. It is evident that the diet transition would be tremendously helpful to resolve the climate crisis. The majority of people think of fossil fuels when they are faced with the concept of greenhouse gases, but food production is also a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Around 17.4% of greenhouse gases are emitted to put animal products on our table. Considering that around 16.2% of greenhouse gases are emitted from all modes of transportation – cars, trains, planes, and ships – it’s clear that we need to do more than just make our transportation go electric: We need to eat greener for the environment and for ourselves.
Instead of only focusing on reducing your carbon footprint, this book teaches you how to boost nature’s carbon capture. It’s not complicated. You just need to let forests and the oceans do their jobs. It also reveals how Klimagourmet can help you fight global warming with your fork, and offers you tasty recipes that are eco-friendly.
