Reduce your carbon footprint and take a bite out of climate change, starting with your lunch. Take the Tread Lightly LOW Carbon Lunch Challenge! Eat Local, Organic and Waste-free and challenge your friends and peers to do the same. Anyone is welcome to join this challenge. You don't need to be a TIG member to participate; however, TIG members will receive a profile badge at the end of the challenge!

Ways to participate:

1. COMMIT to taking the LOW Carbon Lunch Challenge.

2. CHALLENGE your friends and peers to join you in eating LOW - Local, Organic and Waste-free! Send them an e-card to invite them to pledge their commitment.

3. PLAN a LOW Carbon Lunch event a way to encourage others to eat more sustainably. Organize a luncheon, farmers market, or food swap. Or come up with your own ways to eat low carbon.

4. PROMOTE your event using the TIG resources. Add your LOW Carbon Lunch event to the TIG events database.

5. DOCUMENT your lunch event on the LOW Carbon Lunch group blog.

6. TEACH secondary students about the importance of reducing food footprints of using the Tread Lightly Low Carbon Lunch lesson plan.

  Consomme davantage d'aliments bio
Submitted By:   laurakenyon

Date Created:  2007-11-01 		Description:   Food can contain many harmful ingredients that we would not expect to find. These could be a result of chemical fertilizers used on fruits and vegetables, or artificial hormones or antibiotics given to animals. Organic foods try avoid these harmful additives and produce food naturally which is less harmful for the environment as well as individuals . Also, the chemicals used in traditional agricultural methods can be extremely devastating to the environment and to human health. Agrochemicals degrade the land, pollute water and cause nitrogen pollution which eventually kills all living organisms in an aquatic environment. Not to mention that agrochemicals inadvertently end up in human drinking water supplies, and have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and low academic performance among other things. By buying more organic food, we will lessen the demand for products grown in the traditional chemical intensive manner. By doing so, we will reduce the amount of chemicals entering our bodies and the ecosystem.
