Hey all,

While I’m aware that most issues regarding reducing greenhouse gasses land more on companies and governments than they do on individual responsibility, I still want to work on forming my diet to overall be more climate-friendly.

I’m curious if there’s a website that compares the carbon footprint of certain foods. Since I’m currently modifying my diet to be more healthy and nutritious, I was also thinking about maybe making some changes where possible that are more friendly to the environment.

What brought up this thought is that I’m currently making sweetened drinks at home using zero-calorie sweeteners, and with the options I have available and how little they differ from one another in my eyes, I was curious which option between Stevia and Sucralose was more environmentally friendly, and then it became a more general question as to where I can compare these things.

Thanks in advance!

    This isnt an meat vs plants thing, that is as you say, established.

    But for a given item of food, acquiring it locally instead of shipping it from overseas is always going to be better.
