CFREE tip: Benefits of a shift to plant-based foods (serving #1 of 12)

Reducing the carbon footprint of humans is critical to preserving the viability of Earth. One of the few things affecting the climate that we as individuals can control, and one of the most important, is what we eat. A plant-based diet is healthier for us — the medical community is united on that. And climate scientists say with one voice that it is also healthier for the planet. In the graph below, notice the trifling impact of plant-based proteins (in green) on our world.

CFREE (Carbon Free Residential — Everything Electric) is a subcommittee of the Lincoln Green Energy Committee that provides guidance on how households can reduce use of fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions to help Massachusetts meet statewide emissions limits set for 2030, 2040, and 2050. It also provides information about state and federal incentives that help reduce the cost of such changes. For guidance on such projects at your home, email lincolngreencoach@gmail.com.
