Welcome back to this mini series on imperfect sustainability!! My aim for this series is to inspire you to view sustainability in a more positive light and to help you to genuinely make a difference in your own life. Let's tackle this with a non-judgemental, solutions-driven attitude and lift each other up rather than tearing each other down.
Episode 2: food!! less meat & more mindfulness
"Eat food. Not too much. Mainly plants." - Michael Pollan
It's widely accepted that reducing your meat consumption has a significant positive impact on the planet, since the animal agriculture industry is extensively problematic and highly polluting. In fact, if cattle were their own nation, they'd be the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases! Diet is very personal, so there's a lot of nuance when discussing changes to people's diets. There are many cultural, dietary and health considerations to be made and what's more everyone's on their own path. That said, the effect of our overconsumption of meat is one that in my opinion, can't be ignored when discussing sustainability.
Tune in for an honest discussion about the benefits of eating less meat, being more mindful about the food we eat and enjoying the process of cooking. Let me know your thoughts over on instagram @spacetolearnpodcast :)
