Food practices that help save the environment

ArabiaWeather.com - Muhammad Salameh - Changes and factors, whether those in which humans have a role or not, seem to continue to affect the environment around us, and some of them have posed a threat to the environment, while others may be considered a threat to it. So shouldn't we try to find solutions to save the environment?

Here are some suggestions related to the way we eat, through which we can help save the environment :

Let your food be moderate

Moderation means buying food as much as you will eat, and this will help reduce the amount of waste, and will also reduce overproduction of food in the world, which will save natural resources.

Let your food be local

That is, reliance on foods produced within the country, and this in turn will reduce the import of foods from abroad, and thus reduce the energy consumed in transportation methods.

Let your food be organic

As for organic food, it makes you maintain your health by staying away from processed and canned foods that use preservatives, and organic products are environmentally friendly and biodegradable, unlike non-organic foods.

Let your food be seasonal

Vegetables and fruits vary according to the season, and your commitment to what nature offers you in each season helps the environment in playing its natural role. For example, do not order watermelon in winter, because you will only get it imported from a far place.

Do not overeat meat

The human body needs meat in moderate quantities, and reducing the demand for meat means reducing the depletion of livestock, and this will save the amount of water consumed in the production of meat from cattle and livestock farms.
