Choose organics:  Learn about organic foods from this blog and choose organics where possible.

Choose sustainable seafood: Consult guides from Seafood Watch and similar organizations to ensure that your seafood choices are sustainable. Follow these tips to further reduce the impact of your seafood consumption.

Eat less meat, better meat: The consumption of meat is less sustainable than the consumption of plants, and a reduction of meat in your diet is a great first step to reducing environmental impact. For any remaining meat consumption in your diet, consult this article from Foodprint and choose pasture-raised meat and dairy products.

Reduce food waste: Get tips on reducing food waste in this guide from the United States EPA.

Compost: Learn about composting in your community and find a solution that works best for you. Does your local waste management service pick up food waste for composting? Is there a local farmer’s market or other place where you can drop off food waste? Are you willing to do composting on your own?
