One bite-sized way to help restore our planet is to take an hour out of your day to look through your pantry and fridge for food products that have a high ecological impact–and swap them for more planet-friendly alternatives.

For example: kitchen staples like red meat, coffee, and chocolate can all take a high toll on forests and contribute to the climate crisis.

Luckily, doing good tastes great! Consider more sustainably-sourced animal products or plant-based protein-packed alternatives like beans, lentils, and chickpeas for your next main course. Look for fair trade coffee brands and choose chocolates wrapped in less packaging. You just might find a new favourite snack in the process…
