We have to wake up to climate change but not create fear or despair. Each one of us has the power to make a difference. Even small changes in our daily behavior can help prevent greenhouse gas emissions without affecting our quality of life. We can challenge our families and peers to make a change. You can act climate smartly in your daily life at home, at school, at work and in your community. You can make a change. This time we will concentrate on eating at school.
Climate-smart eating recognizes that the GHG emissions of what we choose to eat can vary widely, and since GHG emissions associated with the food we eat is estimated at between 44 and 57 percent of total planetary emissions (according to the non-governmental organization, GRAIN, and published by The Wall Street Journal and by the UN), people's choices concerning the food they eat has the potential to make a huge difference in how much GHGs are emitted. Good choices will serve to slow the rate of climate change, and will ultimately reduce the extent of the damage associated with that change.
Every Meal Matters! The ENO Programme calls schools to study about climate change and observetheir meals at school for one week. Theme will crystallize on the ENO Campaign Week 25- 29 April with Meat Free Monday 25 April 2016.
