Eat to save the planet in Climate Week
Cook these delicious low-carbon vegetarian recipes to boost your health and help save the planet
Climate change is one of the toughest issues we face, but confronted with such a massive problem, it's tricky to know what we as individuals can do to make difference.
One step that the organisers of Climate Week 2012 (March 12-18) are urging us all to take is to cook at least one low-carbon meal this week. Do so, and you'll be both helping the planet and raising awareness of the issue of climate change.
Not sure how to make your menus eco-friendly and low-carbon? Try these four simple steps:
- Choose seasonal, organic fruit and veg
- Pick vegetarian options (eg tofu, Quorn) instead of meat
- Select locally-sourced British products and not imports
- Avoid highly processed ingredients
