NY Times: Denmark with A Greener Menu


In the New York Times an article titled Serving Denmark with a Greener Menu caught my attention. A new program called Climate+ is helping local business to reduce their carbon footprints. This program aims to make the Danish Capital carbon neutral by the year of 2025. Carbon neutral! This program implements many small changes that actually help significantly reduce carbon emissions and save the company money. Little changes that are suggested are things like: avoiding beef and processed foods, and using more fish and locally made products when possible, using organic foods, and concentrating on fruits and vegetables that are in season. It is unbelievable that just these few changes can help reduce carbon emissions and even, in doing so, save the business money and help bring the Danish capital down to a carbon neutral area by the year of 2025. This is phenomenal!! It really is the little things that sometimes count in a big way!
