5 ways to shop and eat smarter for the climate

The guide outlines five ways to reduce the environmental footprint of consumption: reducing food waste, mindful consumption of high-impact foods, choosing certified sustainable products, engaging with local food producers, and advocating for conservation policies.

• Land use for food, clothing, and paper production is a primary driver of environmental degradation, causing 75% of global deforestation and emitting more greenhouse gases than the global transport sector combined.
• Approximately one-third of all food produced globally is wasted, which represents a volume several times greater than what is required to feed every malnourished person on Earth.
• Consumers can mitigate their environmental footprint by reducing the overconsumption of high-impact foods, selecting independently certified sustainable products, and urging the US Congress and Administration to support policies that help producers conserve wildlife and grasslands.
