People are getting inspired to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle by reducing their environmental impact, which is a great thing for our planet. Incorporating sustainable eating into your lifestyle is a big part of this process, so here’s how you can eat more sustainably in the future.

Eat Less Meat

You don’t have to become vegan or vegetarian in order to help the planet, but eating less meat and other animal products is also a great way to live a more sustainable lifestyle. The livestock industry is responsible for nearly 15% of total greenhouse gas emissions which makes agriculture one of the most polluting industries.

Avoid Plastic Packaging

Single-use plastics are also one of the biggest environmental issues because they’re used only once and are often not recyclable. That’s why you should try to avoid plastic bags and products that come in plastic packaging.

Cut Your Food Waste

Food waste is also a massive problem and most people are not aware of the fact that more than 30% of all food that’s produced globally is wasted. Planning your meals and only buying food that you actually need are some of the ways to cut your food waste.
