Want to reduce
global warming? Join our "Cool Foods" Campaign and help take a bite out of
global warming by changing the way you eat.
The Cool Foods Campaign - a project of the
Center for Food Safety and the
CornerStone Campaign - makes the connections between the foods we eat and their contribution to
global warming. The Campaign aims to educate the public about the impact of their food choices across the entire food system and empower them with the resources to reduce this impact. We hope to inspire a groundswell of people committed to making sustainable food choices to reduce their "
FoodPrint". Our campaign seeks solutions to the problem of
global warming, and focuses on agricultural practices and food choices that can reduce and reverse this trend.
Voluntary lifestyle choices can make a difference in combating global
climate change. While a variety of initiatives involving energy reduction and increased efficiency have grown in popularity, reconsidering individual food choices has been largely overlooked. Making informed choices, such as choosing
organic,
local, and
whole foods, is one way we can begin to restore the health of our planet.
The Cool Foods Campaign connects consumers with
organic,
local and
seasonal food resources. It provides many resources including a guide for "
Cool Food" choices in the supermarket that can help you to assess how you can alter your "
FoodPrint" to reduce your contributions to
global warming. Together we can create changes in our food system and help stop
global warming.
