Global climate change has already had a dramatic impact on the environment – and these effects will only get worse over time if we don’t make substantial changes to our behavior – from the fuels we use, to how we manufacture our products, to the choices we make in our diet.
At The Paleo Diet, we believe sustainability should be an important part of our diet. Grass-fed, free range meat, moving away from monoculture agriculture, and local, organic produce – perhaps even from your own garden – all have smaller environmental footprints than feedlot or factory-raised meats and GMO’s.
Of course, there are still debates over the land and water usage of these farming methods and over the question of whether excluding meat from your diet entirely is best for the environment. As the science on these debates grows, we are committed to provide the most up-to-date and trusted research for our readers – regardless of the answers. While February focused on the environment, one month is not enough time to cover such a complex topic. Consider this the first of many pieces dedicated to climate change and climate change prevention.
We hope you enjoy!
