Rachel Bicker on Instagram: "Back to the dietary issue of climate change: there is an undeniable fact that the countries consuming more calorie-rich foods are putting more strain on the environment and the climate. The current system means the children born this last decade will see at least a 2°C rise in their lifetimes. Switching to a more plant-based diet (it doesn't even have to be 100%) is overall lower in carbon, reduces land-take and has proven benefits for individual health (on average reducing premature mortality globally by 10%). Socially, it also raises awareness through dialogue and helps change thinking around other global resources. What it comes down to for me, is how will our descendents view our individual and collective efforts (or lack of?) #TheClimateBook #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency"
