Reducing Your Foodprint: Farming, Cooking, and Eating for a Healthy Planet

By Ellen Rodger

Book Overview

Reducing Your Foodprint teaches children that what they eat and how they eat is important to the environment. Most of the food served in restaurants and stocked on grocery store shelves travels many thousands of miles by airplane and truck. The further food travels, the more harm to the environment. This enlightening new book explains how to eat locally and responsibly. Special case study sections highlight how others have reduced both their carbon foodprints and footprints just by making changes in their diets. Teacher's guide available.
