Climate / Conservation

There’s no one solution to climate change; it's a daunting and multifaceted problem. The Greater Boston food community is approaching it from every angle, from upcycling to downscaling. Home to an ever-growing tech industry and too many world-class universities to name, Greater Boston is well positioned to lead on environmental issues. From restaurants choosing compostable takeout containers to anaerobic digesters creating greener energy, local businesses are finding solutions. As individuals, making climate-friendly food choices is one of the most effective ways to make an impact. Buying local food, reducing food waste and plastic in the home kitchen, backyard composting and adding more vegetarian meals can make a difference. Each of us wants to reduce our carbon footprint and create a more sustainable future. It starts in the kitchen.
