The climate diet is a way of eating that focuses on plant-based foods and reduced meat consumption. This principle must be followed to reduce the carbon footprint – the atmospheric (and climate) harmful emissions of greenhouse gases resulting from the activities of every living thing on the planet.

These two points contribute to reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. At the same time, of course, we do not recommend limiting yourself too severely. In this case, you will simply drive yourself into a depression (and that’s fine, if only food, and not psychological!), and it won’t help you or the planet.
