Hi Barbara,

Thanks for visiting. Yes, that is one I often do myself, it’s nice not to have much cooking to do now and again.

Hi Tom,

You’re welcome, as always!

Sophie,

That would be wonderful, if you get the time.

Very good list. It’s amazing how we can all do little things that make a huge difference. I know that I have many habits and practices that I do that can easily be changed to help the environment. These are all great suggestions, thanks for the list.

Wonderful tips! I always cook much more than necessary when preparing my food and then freeze the rest. It works out very well. Best wishes, Barbara Barbara Ling's last blog post..Gourmet Blogger Breakfast - Iberico ham, Grana Padano cheese and …

BTW Sophie,

Do you know of any good sites/info showing the effect of eating meat on the environment?

Hi Elaine,

Thank you for more great tips, I particularly like your toilet roll method – I must say I hadn’t heard of that one before, but can see just how effective that could be!!

Hi Sophie,

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I know that there are those who encourage eating less meat, and as you say this is something that would be very difficult to implement.

I’ve written about reducing meat intake before, by replacing with legumes etc, however it’s more from a health point of view than an environmental view.

There are so many things we could do to help the environment, I intend to write more posts on this in the future to cover the specifics.

A great list, and most of these are things that are within reach of the average person to do which is ideal. You missed a really big one though - most of the evidence these days is pointing towards eating significantly less meat as being the thing that will have the biggest beneficial effect on the environment. Obviously that is a much harder one to sell to people, as yourself, Elaine and Kathryn will all know! Sophie's last blog post..How to make a healthier muffin
