Our food choices, including where we source produce from, what type of food we consume, and how much we order, are hugely important to our environmental footprint. Nasty agricultural practices spread toxins, damage land, and hurt animals, and food waste is a major contributor to global warming.
You can change this by eating less meat; buying locally from farmer’s markets and bulk food stores; and reducing your food waste. At shows, choose catering companies and food concession stands that can provide local, mainly-vegetarian food, and work with organisations like OzHarvest if waste is unavoidable.
