• Stanford and Tulane University experts say some basic food swaps can help to lower our carbon footprint by 35%.  Here's what we know:
• Their study states that cutting your carbon footprint by diet wouldn't require a complete overhaul
• Some examples:

1. Swap crab for salmon
2. Meatless hotdog instead of a cheese-filled hotdog
3. Have a chicken sandwich instead of a cheeseburger
4. BBQ pork short ribs for BBQ beef short ribs
5. Turkey lunchmeat instead of salame

• While small changes like these dietary ones by individuals can have large impact, it can only help reduce not eradicate Climate Change.
