Much of the environmental damage caused by human activity can be traced to how and we eat-and don't eat. As most people are aware, the production of fruit, vegetables,and especially meat requires huge amounts of energy. But one-third of the world’s food production goes to waste every year. We can help this situation by buying only what we can finish. Furthermore, it's better to buy local instead of imported products, since food transportation both consumes energy and products Co2. Lastly,avoid packaged foods, bottled drinks, and single-use utensils made of plastic, as these can pollute our environment. Instead of using straws, why not drink directly from the cap.
