Show your support for programs and organizations including community and citywide actions that are fighting climate change, and organizations working on the ground to make a difference. Because when it comes to climate change, money talks. And it doesn’t stop at your individual portfolio – ask your university, your company, and your organization how they invest their money. Join a movement of millions of individuals from dozens of countries representing trillions in assets who are avoiding the investment risks of climate change and lightening their carbon footprints. If you are lucky enough to have investments or a pension, pledge to separate them from exposure to fossil fuel assets and increase your stake in clean energy companies. To learn more check out our Foodprints for the Future campaign. Enjoy more plant-based meals, reduce your food waste altogether, and compost your food scraps. Luckily, there has never been a better time to join efforts to reduce our carbon footprint through food choices. The carbon footprint of this wasted food is about 3.3 billion tons of CO2. In fact, if global food waste were a country, it would be the third largest greenhouse gas emitter, behind China and the U.S. Research has revealed the tremendous impact that the mass production of meat, dairy, and eggs has on our planet.Īdditionally, food waste is an enormous ‘hidden’ contributor to climate change. Your food’s carbon footprint, called its foodprint, is the greenhouse gas emissions produced by growing, harvesting, processing, transporting, cooking, and disposing of the food we eat. Take public transit, biking, or walking when possible – it’s good for your health, your wallet, and the planet. No matter where you live, travel by car or airplane contributes heavily to our shared carbon footprint. Transportation is now the largest source of carbon emissions in the United States.
