"Easy Food Swaps for a Greener Planet and Healthier You"

Simple food swaps can help reduce your carbon footprint by up to 35%. Researchers from Stanford University and Tulane University analyzed the diets of over 7,700 Americans and identified commonly eaten foods with high climate impact. They found that substituting grilled beef steak with grilled chicken, BBQ beef short ribs with BBQ pork short ribs, canned corned beef with turkey ham, cooked crab with poached salmon, and cheeseburgers with grilled chicken sandwiches can significantly reduce carbon emissions. These substitutions, along with others, can lead to a 35% reduction in the average American's carbon footprint. The study emphasizes that small changes in diet can have a significant impact on both climate outcomes and overall health.
