Bon Appétit's Low Carbon Diet Commitment & Calculator

2/18/2009

 

Bon Appétit Management Company developed operational initiatives to minimize their carbon impact in addition to an educational campaign aimed at increasing awareness about the issues, including reducing the amount of beef they purchase by 25% by April 2009 and launching a campaign to inform their customers about the link between beef and cheese to climate change so they will be able to make conscious choices.  Bon Appetit has a Low Carbon Diet Calculator that is designed to allow you to compare the relative carbon impacts of your food choices. Check out http://www.eatlowcarbon.org
Bon Appetit is not a vegan company, but they are taking steps to reduce meat and cheese and educate their customers to do the same.  Many food companies have not reached this stage yet. Please continue encouraging food providers to reduce/eliminate animal products.

A low-carbon diet should include not eating meat, fish, or most other animal products; organic agriculture; re-localization; non-super-sized portions; and fewer or no processed foods.

Please visit Eco-Eating at www.brook.com/veg for more info.
