As environmental protection and sustainability gain attention, our diets should follow the change. What we eat not only affects our health but also impacts the global environment. Choosing a low-carbon diet is a vital step in protecting the Earth and reducing resource waste, creating a better future.
How to Practice Zero-Waste, Low-Carbon Eating?
Choose Local and Seasonal Ingredients: These require less storage and energy. Buying local reduces transportation and carbon emissions.
Adopt Low-Carbon Cooking: Opt for steaming, cold dishes, or slow cooking to save energy and preserve nutrients, reducing household emissions.
Reduce Food Waste: Buy and cook only what you need, and use slightly damaged ingredients to minimize waste.
Use Reusable Utensils: Bring your own containers and cutlery to reduce single-use products, which helps cut tons of waste annually in Taiwan.
Choose Eco-Friendly Restaurants: Support those which use local ingredients and avoid disposable items, to embody low-carbon values when eating out.
