"People get really touchy when you start getting into what they eat," says George. But "you don't have to have meat at three meals a day, you can get by with a lot less than that."when you can, and when you do buy meat, George recommends free range or organic options, or cuts from your local farmer's market. Cookbooks and cooking sites specializing in flavorful vegetarian options abound.
George also says to be conscious of the materials used to package or consume your food. She suggests buying in bulk rather than single-serving food and to reuse plates, napkins, cups, cutlery, and so on, whenever possible.
"I don't take well to other people telling me what I'm doing wrong, so I don't try to tell people what they're doing wrong," she says. Instead, "you can take the opportunity to talk to them about why you chose that sustainable gift."It's easy to be cynical about whether or not our individual choices really make a difference, says George.
"I kind of think of sustainability as health," she says. "For most of us, you're always striving to do better and all of those cumulative improvements and cumulative ways to change your thinking add up to real change over time."
