Here’s a shocking fact—the food system is responsible for one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions! In fact, scientists have shown that dietary choices can equal the difference between driving an efficient sedan versus a large SUV. Bon Appétit Management Company is taking a leadership position in the fight against global warming with our Low Carbon Diet. We are implementing over 20 procurement initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the highest impact areas of our business by 25 percent.
On Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, at lunchtime, Bon Appétit Management Company is celebrating Low Carbon Diet Day! The Marketplace will be transformed to highlight low carbon food choices. Each food area will illustrate a key principle of reducing climate change. You will have extensive choices but will be encouraged to taste new items that are more climate-friendly than some regular features.
We will also debut Bon Appétit’s online Low Carbon Diet Calculator to help you determine the impact of your individual food choices. This fun, interactive calculator is based on best-available science developed by a multi-disciplinary team of experts.
Please join us on the 22nd to learn how you can easily lower your carbon impact. For more information, visit www.CircleofResponsibility.com.
