Carbon diet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Carbon Diet refers to reducing the impact on climate change (previously known as global warming) by reducing energy consumption from non-renewable resources. Individuals and businesses produce carbon dioxide from daily activities such as driving, heating, and the consumption of products and services. To reduce the effects of climate change, we must reduce our carbon output by going on a carbon diet.
This differs from a Low Carbon Diet which refers to making choices about eating that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe).
