    One of my son's new jackets had a stain that couldn't be removed. Instead of throwing it away, I bought a football themed sticker and covered the stain. My son was thrilled about it and it was also an opportunity to have an educational discussion with him on sustainability.

    Why do you think it is important to eat less meat?

    Mihaela Munteanu 4/17/2022 11:28 PM
    Meat production increases the associated global warming gases and it takes a lot of land, water, and resources to raise animals and grow feed for them.

    Being sustainable does require continuous work, but is easier than we might think. Changing micro habits will have a big impact. Think about shopping from local producers, or using the eco program on your dishwasher or laundry machine, choose eco-friendly supplies. Every little effort counts!

    In many homes around the world, women are at the heart of the household’s nexus of water, food, and energy – and thus often know firsthand about the challenges and potential solutions in these areas. They should be at the forefront of decision-making on sustainable development and climate-change mitigation.
