Fruit Day by our Environmental Club

We have introduced the Veggie Vindicator climate hero one of the characters created for the UN project whose role is to explain to kids that what we eat, and how that food is produced, affects our health but also the environment. Plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, have a lower environmental impact than animal-based foods such as meat and dairy products. Plant-based foods generally use less energy, land and water, and cause less greenhouse gases. This does not mean we have to become a vegan or vegetarian. A healthy diet is one that provides adequate calories and nutrients from several different food groups. But by shifting to healthy diets that include sustainability considerations you can help the environment.
