The problem is the carbon emissions due to foods. Food undergoes some steps like growing, rearing, farming, processing, transporting, storing, cooking and disposing of. And all of these steps are the cause of CO2 emission. The more we eat meat, the more CO2 produced. The more CO2 concentration in the air means the more danger of climate change we are in.

Here are my some observations:

At home, my mother cooks foods that contain meat or just meat at least three times a week.

When she cooks soup or rice, she adds chicken broth.

For breakfast, we may have eggs, bologna, sausage and more.

In the refectory, 2 meals are served for the main course. One of the meals always includes meat. I see people always choose a meal with meat.

My friends staying in a dormitory, when they do not like the meal provided in the dormitory, I heard that they order some foods contains food. Or sometimes they go to a mall to eat pizza, doner, ıskender, etc.

I see people eating fast food like hamburgers, pizza all the time.

If people continue to eat too much meat as I observed, we cannot be able to stop our carbon footprint. Because all steps until meat comes to our plates contributes to climate change. The problem does not finish with people around me. We should concider all people in the world. It shows how big the problem is.
