Eat More Plants, Help the Planet
You don’t have to overhaul your life to make a difference. A few simple habits—eating a bit more plant-forward, wasting less food, and shopping smarter—go a long way for the planet and your budget.
Why plant-forward helps
- Growing plants typically uses fewer resources than many animal foods (especially red meat).
- Beans, grains, and veggies are pantry-friendly, affordable, and endlessly versatile.
- It’s inclusive—easy to cook for everyone at the table.
Easy swaps (no pressure)
- Try one plant-based meal a day (oats, bowls, pasta + lentils).
- Make Meatless Monday (or any two nights) a go-to.
- Build meals around beans, tofu/tempeh, mushrooms, and veggies.
- Keep a “power pantry”: canned beans, rice/quinoa, frozen veggies, good sauces.
Shop + store smarter
- Buy seasonal and local when you can.
- Choose items with minimal packaging.
- Freeze leftovers, bread, and fruit before they turn.
- Plan one bigger shop instead of several small trips.
