Welcome to "The Restaurant"
What do you want to eat?
It's time to think about what you eat. When you pay for your food at the grocery store or a restaurant, the bill you pay doesn't include the cost of CO₂ emissions from food production.
Your dietary choices impact the environment
In the food sector, meat and dairy consumption are the biggest contributors to carbon emissions.
What's on THE MENU?
Here at The Restaurant, you can calculate the environmental cost of the food on your plate. Select what you ate today (or this week/month) from THE MENU.
Pay your bill
Where do I pay? Nowhere. The prices on THE MENU reflect the cost of carbon-sequestration, but no one currently pays to repair the environmental damage of our dietary choices. Limiting your meat consumption is one of the big ways you can reduce the impact of your lifestyle on our environment.
Offsetting has taken off in the airline industry
Air travel also has a big impact on the environment. In the airline industry, "carbon offsetting" is voluntary action a conscientious consumer can take to compensate for the effects of flights. When you buy an airline ticket, you may be asked whether you want to offset the emissions from your flight.
