ENERGY & EMISSIONS
FOOD PRODUCTION USES 30% OF THE ENERGY WE CONSUME
IF WE SAVE 1/3, WE'LL USE 10% LESS ENERGY WORLDWIDE ENOUGH ENERGY TO POWER OVER 1 BILLION HOMES FOR A YEAR
BY 8%
THIS ALSO MEANS CUTTING GLOBAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
SAVING JUST 1KG OF BEEF WOULD SAVE 13.17KG OF CO2
THAT’S THE EQUIVALENT OF TAKING AN AVERAGE CAR OFF THE ROAD FOR TWO DAYS
OVER 780 MILLION TONNES OF CEREALS ARE WASTED EVERY YEAR
SAVING THESE WOULD SAVE AS MANY EMISSIONS AS GROUNDING 631,821 TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHTS
IF WE SAVE 1/3 OF FOOD AND ELIMINATE FOOD WASTE, WE CAN ALSO
FREE UP 21%
OF LANDFILL SPACE
AND AVOID MUCH OF THE METHANE THAT IS EMITTED FROM ROTTING FOOD
AS A GLOBAL WARMING AGENT, METHANE IS 25 TIMES MORE POTENT THAN CO
2
HERE'S WHAT ELSE WE CAN SAVE WHEN WE SAVE 1/3
