Currently reading The Blue Plate: A Food Lover's Guide to Climate Chaos
Are you confused about how to eat sustainably? Do you suffer from analysis paralysis when shopping for dinner? In this compelling new book, ecologist Mark J. Easter analyzes the environmental impacts of what we eat, using both science and story.
From Bookshop.org: "Organized by the ingredients of a typical dinner party, including seafood, salad, bread, chicken, steak, potatoes, and fruit pie with ice cream, each chapter examines the food through the lens of the climate crisis. Not a cookbook, but instead, gathered like guests around the table, you will find the stories of these foods: the soil that grew the lettuce, the farmers and ranchers and orchardists who steward the land, the dairy and farm workers and grocers who labor to bring it to the table. Each chapter reveals the causes and effects of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the social and environmental impact of out-of-season and far-from-home demand."
