A Christmas 'eco'? Less meat and exotic foods, and more fish. Zero plastic News

In favour of the environment and without compromise: here are tips for the holidays to impact zero to Greenpeace. It starts from the set table, avoiding disposable plastic, to finish with the dishes chosen on the basis of origin of the products and the distribution chain. There are those who will find them extreme, but they can be a starting point to reflect on the consumption that often during the holidays are out of control. More than the ingredients, the handbook of environmental association is an invitation to celebrate in a conscious way. Choosing how to do it, instead of letting go at the mercy of the tradition, and shopping. Let's set the festive table without the use of plates, straws, napkins, and glasses disposable. If we are not able to entirely eliminate the disposable do without the plastic: there are several alternatives that can be composted.
We give preference to products coming from organic farming, local, seasonal and free from GMOS.
Consume the right fish. We learn to read the label and consume less and better: avoid cod, salmon, shrimp, red tuna and sword fish. We choose the fresh fish, local and seasonal is on offer from the small fishing craft.
we Reduce the consumption of meat and meat products, and limit it to one or two portions a week. Let's start to do it right from the days of the feast. If not you can do less, we choose meat from farms, ecological and other producers that you know directly. A large part of the flesh trade comes from factory farms, the second cause of formation of fine dust in Italy, most of car, motorcycle and industry.
we don't follow dietary fads which are unsustainable: various exotic products like pineapples, dates, avocados and papaya, as well as coming from very far away, and can cause deforestation and exploitation of workers in the countries of origin.
