The study of British people’s diets was conducted by University of Oxford scientists and found that meat-rich diets - defined as more than 100g per day - resulted in 7.2kg of carbon dioxide emissions. In contrast, both vegetarian and fish-eating diets caused about 3.8kg of CO2 per day, while vegan diets produced only 2.9kg. The research analysed the food eaten by 30,000 meat eaters, 16,000 vegetarians, 8,000 fish eaters and 2,000 vegans.

Maybe some nice hints/tips:
|
||||
The carbon footprint of a vegetarian diet is about half that of a meat-lover’s diet. (nice tip?)
|
||||
Over 3.5 million people get sick from eating ‘dirty’ meat every year in the US.
|
||||
Vegetarians live longer than meat-eaters. Vegetarians are slimmer than meat-eaters. Vegetarians have a lower risk of getting heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer.

Green Fact: 70% of the deforestation of the Amazon is to provide land for cattle ranches.

Did you know that a gas oven only uses 6% of its energy to cook? And an electric oven is not much better at 12%. If you use the oven on a warm day, you will also heat up the room and need to turn on a fan or air-conditioning. In fact, the most efficient cooking method is simmering on the stove-top.
|
||||
• eat more raw foods that do not need cooking
|
||||
• use the stove-top whenever possible
|
||||
• next best is the microwave as it uses 50% less energy than an oven
|
||||
• use the oven sparingly and smartly…reduce preheating, cook multiple foods, turn off early
|
||||
• use electric kettles to boil water for cooking or drinking.

The amount of CO2 emissions resulting from such uses varies according to the quantity of energy you consume and the type of fuel used:
|
||||
• natural gas: 0.198 kg of CO2 per kWh
|
||||
• electricity: 0.23 kg of CO2 per kWh (this rate varies between countries and over time because it is calculated on the basis of the composition of the production portfolio)
|
||||
• heating oil: 0.264 kg of CO2 per kWh

VERY GOOD!
