"When you buy less meat overall, you can afford healthier, greener meat.
If you can’t find healthier products, ask your grocer to carry them.
EAT MORE PLANTS
Good, low-impact protein foods include grains, legumes, nuts and tofu. Choose organic when possible.
WASTE LESS MEAT
Buy right-size portions and eat what you buy. On average, uneaten meat accounts for more than twenty percent of meat’s greenhouse gas emissions!
EAT LOWER-FAT DAIRY PRODUCTS
Choose cream cheese, part-skim or fresh mozzarella, gouda, feta, muenster, cottage cheese and non-fat yogurt. Choose organic when possible.
SPEAK OUT
Ask your representatives to change policies, such as:
Strengthening regulation of concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFOs) to prevent pollution and unnecessary use of antibiotics and hormones.
