The convenience, style and ease of eating out is something that most people love.... me included but how bad is it for the planet?
Eating out, whether that is fast food such as Mcdonalds or a fancy restaurant can effect the environment in multiple ways, for example;
Product packaging, I see at least one Mcdonalds bag, cup or wrapper thrown in the street weekly
The production of greenhouse gases
The transportation of the food to the restaurant/fast food outlet and the transportation of guests
Water contamination
Instead choose a homemade meal, made with fresh produce and locally-grown foods. You are able to create your own meal how you like, in the comfort of your own home and (optional) but also in your pjs!
Switching from eating out every night of the week to only eating out once a week or fortnight and changing to a fresh meal has the potential to make an impact.
