Take Action: Food
Reducing the carbon emissions from your food is a great way to help you hit your target if your school or college has signed up to the 10:10 campaign
How food is grown, where it comes from and how it is packaged and produced all contribute to its carbon ‘foodprint’. The impact that the products we buy and consume in schools and colleges have on climate change depends on how they’re made and how far they’ve come.
Food can be much greener if it’s local, organic or unprocessed, and it contains less meat & dairy products.
