carbs are filling and not expensive!
eat wholegrain to be fuller for longer.
u don’t have to go 100% vegan! eat vegan meals! start w cutting out beef and mutton, then pork, then seafood, etc. go pescatarian! go vegetarian!
(foods w largest carbon footprint per kg)
minimise food wastage!!
make sure u only cook / take what u can eat. if ur eating out and have leftovers, see if u can pack it to go (saving money & ur next meal is already settled, what could be any better?).
don’t throw away leftovers, u can make a whole other meal w them (stir fry, as a side dish, fried rice, as a quick afternoon snack / supper).
shop local products! so much greenhouse gases are emitted just for transporting food across countries.
it’s crazy how much impact our food has on the environment (just look at how much goes into a single burger). but whether ur reasons for trying more vegan recipes is for the environment, for ur health, or just for exposure to more varieties of food, i hope this post will help and maybe inspire u to try out more foods and recipes!
