Summary: Changing one’s diet can be as effective in reducing emissions of climate-changing gases as changing the car one drives. The Swedish National Food Administration was given the task last year of creating new food guidelines giving equal weight to climate and health. For example, it has been recommended that Swedes eat carrots instead of cucumbers, because the cucumbers are grown in heated greenhouses that consume energy.
Response: I am happy to read this article, it is good that countries around the world are trying to "go green," hopefully soon more and more will jump on the band wagon. If we want to save this beautiful earth from global warming countries around the world need to start making smarter choices.
