"meat-based lunches" news and stories

Save the planet one sandwich at a time

jar of adams peanut butter and buttered knifeAccording to the PB&J Campaign, changing the world is as easy as packing yourself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch each day. They say that eating a single peanut butter and jelly (although I'm actually quite partial to honey instead of jelly) instead of a lunch based on animal protein can save the equivalent of 2.5 pounds of carbon emissions and 280 gallons of water. Makes you think twice the next time you find yourself reaching for a burger.

Their website also offers alternatives to PB&J if you aren't partial to that combo (or you eat your lunch at a place that forbids peanut products). Remember that peanut butter is also delicious spread inside celery, on apple slices or atop a piece of toast in the morning. If you're looking for ways to mix up that nutty spread, try stirring in a little cinnamon.
