Low Carbon Living Calculator

Avoid purchasing food more than needed.
Buy regional and seasonal food.
Buy food with no or minimal packaging.
Avoid using one-off disposable containers and utensils.
Consume food that is purchased earlier and is close to the expiry date first (first-in-first-out (FIFO) system).
Make the best use of leftovers and unconsumed food, such as using leftover food to make new dishes.

Allow hot/warm food to cool down to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator.
Avoid setting the refrigerator temperature unnecessarily low.
Leave enough space between refrigerators and the walls or cabinets. Trapped heat increases energy consumption.
Eat more vegetables. (Shifting from high meat diet to vegetarian diet could reduce your carbon emissions on food up to 80%)
Eat more organic food! Organic food produces less carbon emissions by avoiding energy used in producing chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
