Because everybody eats, food production has the single biggest human impact on our environment. In an average household, about one quarter of household carbon dioxide emissions come from the food. Therefore there was a lot the families could do when they were given their first challenge - about food. The Climate Pilots have now finished the first challenge and you can read more about the different parts and result below.
The challenge on Food
A
Plan and cook an as climate-smart dinner as possible. Invite some friends/family to enjoy the meal. Describe with text and photos (which will be published on the web) how you have planned and made the meal according to the principles of using as high a proportion of organic products as possible, locally produced food, following the growing season and other tips you can find on climate-smart food.
>> RESULT: Read the Climate Pilots' stories on how they planned and prepared a climate-smart dinner (pdf, 7.6MB)
