Climate cookbook part one

winter season

With our nutrition we can help to protect the climate. This cookbook should help to show that a climate- friendly diet is not that complicated.
6 steps to climate-conscious-eating
1. eat more vegetables and fruits less meat
(if you eat meat eat venison, eat regional poultry from species-appropriate husbandry and whole chickens not only breasts)
2. buy regional and sessional food without pesticides
3. reduce food waste
(create recipes of food leftovers)
4. Cook by yourself to use fresh food and to be able to choose the food
(for example replace butter with margarine)
5. discover the diversity and use old regional varieties
(for example lentils, different apple and tomato varieties, old species such as quinces and blackthorn)
6. share your knowledge and experience so that more people participate

With this Calculator you can calculate the carbon footprint of your meal. You can drag the food on the plate.

A typical German Food is „Martinsgans“. You normally eat it at november 11.

Stories and the tradition of the Martin goose.
November the 11 is the commemoration day of Saint Martin. The modest Martin did not consider himself worthy of being a bishop and hid in a goose stable. The chattering goose betrayed him and he was ordained bishop.
In former days, November 11 was the day on which taxes or feudal duties were due. These were usually paid in natural produce, such as a goose.
November 11 is also the last day before the beginning of the 40 -day fasting period before Christmas. The humans used this last opportunity to enjoy a rich meal such as roast goose.
