Did you know
that one-third on greenhouse gas emissions originate from our food
consumption
everyone can kick batino how much these carrots
contributed I wonder how can we
as individuals make smart decisions considering the urgency
of climate change when it comes to our troops it is not standard human behavior
to take complex fact into account but I believe
there's a way now tell you how six years ago
I came to suit atlantis to dinner informatics to understand better
the human brain advocate I left sitting in front of the computer
I connected with the idea of breaking 15th apart
filming prom in creating artificial life there was a
vote when I finish school everyone at my age participated who is going to be the
person
cool not cold with reality and I
scored first place I took seventy percent of all the health
and you know what they were right
I do not get along with it I want change
one big reason of why I am
I my parents I was there
first child when there were 21 years old the open-minded
and spirited and thinking about my childhood it feels like it is
deep understanding of what connects with and why we hear
being dependent on someone to give you food and
free to learn to be
inspired discover and 2 B's price
free tulip anyone in the only currency
kit we were all
children and sometimes I get struck but a belief that we are all
and big family in fact seven billion strong
and we are grown up now
and bound budget constraints of nature here we strive to share our choices
with the future generations to come climate change
is reality and global resources are getting sparse
what is your individual role that you're playing here
what what if you like carrots hard day going
impact people and plan so
there it happened I came along the study in a stack
I could not let go of it up to this day 31
percent greenhouse gas emissions originate from my food consumption
and we can reduce them by hop eating
me of that her affordable healthy delicious
and we also make smart decisions and reducing the environmental footprint
and it's not just abouts you too through dad special
by scaling down on emissions equally skilled on
on oil consumption on air prediction
land on water and everyone agrees that we only have one planet for Humanity
to strike food
can be broken down into its ingredients and each ingredient Ltd own complex
story
in order to make relevant decisions we have to look
all the different points per game it's easy to sum them up
and look at them so take a look at a tomato
grown anywhere and see them just have a fraction of the co2 footprint
an estimated that is grown in a greenhouse now
compared with to death for Agnes that if flown in
for airplane the commercial see you to death
and it doesn't really matter word asparagus comes from
when it's minutes brought in by ship or of course
grown locally in there in the first place now
compared this to any food the dismay out of animal proteins and you'll
immediately see you
what matters there's a difference between
beef and chicken due to the amount of me 10 that is produced
in a cast on Nick more breaking down the graph and
she's also has a high C to impact because it's made out of cups milk
sup there's easy take home message here
first start loving to eat green and
third and second eat seasonal and local
because then you don't have a greenhouse or an airplane
so my partner you did and three under and a student's
we discussed what we're going to do about this
and we agreed that we want to look at the few tomb packed meals
to be able to inform people on the level that is comprehensive
so it's easy for you to lean back in your favorite restaurant just pick them
know
that has been awarded inclined and
and we also agreed that we must feel
responsible to make it happen
so we decided to go to our university and half
them label label me off to
to make it real to communicate the value our discovery
we were students fuller condition
we be called ourself eternity and we thought
everyone can kick and we going to start movement
for climate family meal
we we went to our university
and they turned us down they said if something is going to happen
at the University it has to be rock solid signs
and the requested to have a professor involved
we worked hard and we contacted a lot
divall busy writing applications but finally
we could find someone who's happy to support a
the deal loss that we have to collect all available scientific data now
each ingredient and are a lot
you see there's the matter it's called life cycle assessment you break down the
production of food
into its processes you look what materials go into the process what can
scout
what happens with this is careful sites and
time-consuming analysis in the end you come up with the number
indicates the carbon footprint now
you're able to make measurable decisions
about what's good for our climate
that's what we did we basically assembled the most valuable
incomplete database to makes you to calculations from you
we went back to our university in the city okay you can make a pallet
three weeks in one restaurant to see
if death actually something that interests people
them we went to caress her manager and she turns down
she said didn't see the purpose at how would she make money
if something like that so we recruited a bunch of more students we sat down be
creative marketing material flyers posters information booth
you walked around the campus informing everybody until the rest from a knitted
just couldn't resist a noted that this is actually something her guests one
now you City look in a
how to cook faith when we approached him in Cottonwood re going to do
reduce you to fight climate change and by the way save the planet
what kinda funny hippies are distancing a fifteen thinking
to be we talked with him over and over again
until he made the idea histone until he could see himself being the hero
who will share the smile missed again
and together we create the most wonderful climate-friendly me off
this one was the most popular one with a good of spaghetti
hes still with grilled vegetable and out of ten thousand surf
meal 2,500 person choose our climate friendly
the pilot with the use except the media came and
and invited into the dresser of in the the report about it on the newspaper and
television
and M there was this very decisive moment
coffee in on came to visit our university
he was giving a speech urging for the role of science and climate change
and we took the opportunity topless and told them what we're doing
and you look at us and said this is not just something for university
thumping for the whole of humanity
and we should go about it he trust in us
and that we should continue to roll out and we'll be successful
this moment was one about greatest gratification
years of hard work had let up to this point it giveth disc
great boost energy and and the confidence
two-step outta University and think pic
we started programming software to be able to share issue to tackle a synth
escape and with just recently launched RB test test and more than 100 persons
and Restaurant sign up and it's great for us
to discover how'd they find inspiration creativity
in between climate friendly recipe and this is
what's happening exactly right now together with the partner
we going to roll out daily climate-friendly not in several hundred
suppressor of
with their cooks being the climate heroes
they will lead the beginning of sustainable cuisine and wisdom
we're going to set a standard to many more follow
third quarter million restaurants in the next market thats are trying it
will continue to roll out
now let's take a step back
it's not easy live on one Tom issue 2
in our society
it's not driven by standard human behavior its complex
we need to break it down into little steps each of us
able to commit but with food
I can't help to think
it's so simple and yet so delicious
everyone can cook
and when my grandmother cooks for me I just cant say no
and I mean even she she is cooking clan family
for the whole family
so if we choose
to eat climate-friendly three times a week
you could save 1,000,000,000 times ca2+
there's nothing I like that fact there's no technical miracle
that kid do so much with so little
so my wishes that
you will cook climate-friendly for the ones you love
because death is where it all begins any surface
can showing and together will at is great picture
picture did his part of the future we want to live in
thank you
