Over the last few years, I have realised that sustainability is the only way forward. A sustainable lifestyle is not limited to using metal straws and jute bags, and segregating garbage. We need to adopt an environmentally friendly approach in every aspect of life, including our diet. Sustainable eating goes far beyond just limiting the environmental burden. It encompasses a minimally processed, nutritionally balanced diet with as little exposure to fertilisers and pesticides as possible. Now, who wouldn’t choose to secure their health and protect the environment? Below are 10 easy steps you can take in order to embrace sustainable eating.
Opt for organic
Opt for organically grown fruits and vegetables wherever and whenever you can. Not only are you saving your body from the clutches of toxic fertilisers and insecticides but also preventing them from leaching into waterbodies and fields.
Priorities plants
Make plant-based eating a priority. It has a positive effect on our health as well as the environment. Plant cultivation limits rainwater and waterbodies from flooding nearby areas by holding on to the water. The more plants are grown, the lesser the deforestation. Now, isn’t this a win-win on both counts?
Minimise animal products
I know, for many in the world, burgers and chicken lollipops are close to their heart, but one must understand that meat production is a substantial contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The breeding and grazing of livestock puts enormous stress on water, land, and energy resources when compared to plant produce.
