Do you want to know if you are eating something that is contributing to the Global Warming ergo Climate Change? Appalled are you? So am I.
I just learned that everything we do contributes to the carbon emission (C02), one of the greenhouse gasses, that causes the earth’s surface to become warmer. And I just learned that the food system is responsible for 1/3 of global greenhouse emissions?
But did you know that knowing how high or how low the carbon emission of every meal you eat makes you have the power to reduce climate change?
The Bon Appétit Management Company Low Carbon Diet Calculator is designed to allow you to compare the relative carbon impacts of your food choices.
You can drag and drop menu items, ingredients or sample meals into the virtual pan to calculate the carbon emissions created by your meals. To become a part of the climate solution, try making food choices that reduce emissions by 25%!

nice calculator. let’s use it and help save the earth!
yeah this is a real cook app
Lifestyle changes are good, but they can only slow emissions growth slightly, they will not reduce emissions. Personal lifestyle changes can only have an impact of a few percent at most. We cannot ignore the other 95 percent of the problem. Some have suggested that we can forget about caps and just focus on behavioural changes, which is insane.
