In US news and current events today, meet activist Rob Greenfield. He didn't buy food for over a year; instead, he learned to grow and forage his own food in the quest of eating more sustainably.
Rob Greenfield embarked on the Food Freedom project to inspire people to be more critical of where their food is coming from.
The global food system contributes approximately one-quarter of human-made greenhouse gases each year. Greenfield began growing and foraging all of his food on Nov 11, 2018.
Greenfield says he grew more than 100 different foods and foraged more than 200 foods from nature. The environmental activist has undertaken extreme projects before. He doesn’t expect people to replicate his experiment, but hopes it can inspire people to make small choices that go a long way — ones that more environmentally friendly and will not contribute to the climate crisis.
Here are 5 tips on how to eat more sustainably: eat local, eat food that in unpackaged, eat unprocessed foods, eat organic, and grow a bit of your own food.
