Do Just One Thing
Stocking your pantry with climate-friendly foods is easier than you think. Plant-based, shelf-stable staples like lentils, dried beans and oats have a small environmental footprint because they require less processing, refrigeration and water. Pasta is another climate-friendly pantry staple, with low greenhouse gas emissions and a long shelf life. For snacks and cooking, choose seeds like sunflower and pumpkin over resource-intensive nuts, and opt for oils such as sunflower or canola, which generally have lower lifecycle emissions than some tropical oils.
