How you can help!
In the following section, we will show you which little things you can pay attention to in your everyday life and thus make an important contribution to sustainability.
Choose seasonal foods
Fruit and vegetables not only taste best when they are in season, they also contain the most valuable nutrients. Do you have a seasonal calendar at home? It gives you a simple monthly overview of seasonal fruit and vegetables.
Support regional suppliers
Regional foods have shorter transportation routes and therefore use less CO2. Nature will thank you for it.
Pay attention to environmentally friendly packaging
Avoid double and triple packaging of food. Take bags or containers with you from home. Look out, you will find more and more stores throughout Switzerland where you can buy unpackaged food.
Use up leftovers
Do you have leftover food? No problem. Put them back in the fridge or put them in the freezer. That way you'll have a delicious meal for the next day.
Careful menu planning and correct food storage will also help you to avoid food waste. In Switzerland, more than a third of food ends up as waste.
Give preference to fair trade food
Look out for the "Fair Trade" label, because it means fair trade. In this way, you support small businesses in developing and emerging countries in their efforts.
Incorporate plant-based foods
The production of plant-based foods requires less than half as much energy as the production of meat etc. Be brave and try something new! You will be making an important ecological contribution.
Look out for organically produced food
Organic production pays attention to careful water, air and land pollution. Stricter laws apply to animal husbandry. This means that future generations will have the same conditions as we do.
Often it doesn't take much, but the result is great! With these simple tips, you too can take care of the environment.
