]]> GreenLivingBuilding.com has an interesting post up – What You Eat (or don’t eat) Helps The Environment Most. We’ve discussed this issue here before, but this post is a good read. It’s got some stats neatly laid out which are trying to prove to you that

“What you eat affects our environment more than most anything else.

…more than switching to a hybrid car

…more than switching to mercury free lightbulbs

…more than recycling”

Personally, I think it’s a mixture of issues that affect our environment most; with consumerism heading up the situation. However, this post is not off base at all. Foods we eat both by type and packaging really do make a huge difference. Read the post, then come back and review some of our previous posts about healthier, less packaged foods to eat.
