United States has HUGE food waste problem…

Roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year - approximately 1.3 billion tonnes - gets lost or wasted. Food loss and waste also amount to a major squandering of resources, including water, land, energy, labour and capital and needlessly produce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global warming and climate change.

WHY I EAT PLANTS 🌱 - My reasoning behind eating plants was initially for my health. If I’m not healthy, what does anything matter? 💪🏼🤔 More recently, I have a stronger connection to our planet and one another! Adopting a plant-based lifestyle has made a huge difference in my life and wouldn’t imagine it any other way. 🌏🌎🌍 My father (who made me believe at a young age was the WORLD’S STRONGEST MAN) is now VEGAN, my sister has substituted to few plant-based alternatives, and my mother has given up meat! 🐣🐇🐓🦃🦍🐄 This is for my family. This is for YOU. This is for the animals. WE are all connected. - Consider eating more plants 🙏🏼 If you’re a plant lover, an animal lover, or just a lover in general - be more kind to one another - leave a 💚 in the comments below!
HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY 🌱 - I’m proud to be vegan 💚 I’m happy to see my friends and family accepting this lifestyle with open arms in their own lives. We are all on our own path and would still love you if you weren’t already vegan. Compassion is the foundation of veganism. If you can make one change today, EAT MORE PLANTS 🌱🌱🌱 Simplicity and pure flavours- chopped cucumber, courgette, extra virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper, dill 🌱🌱🌱 #HappyWorldVeganDay
I CAN EAT THIS EVERY DAY! - Yes, hummus! 🌱🌱🌱 SHARE below a dish you’d like me to create on Instagram LIVE 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 - Now, some facts about HUMMUS... Many regions around the world claim to be the place where hummus originated. Several cuisine-related sources speak of folklore tale in which hummus is described as one of the oldest known prepared foods 😯 - Hummus is high in iron and vitamin C, and has beneficial amounts of both vitamin B6 and folate; it’s also a good source of protein, fiber and potassium💪🏼🌱💪🏼 - Last night, I went LIVE on Instagram to show you how to make hummus from scratch and to make it zero-waste as well!♻️👨🏻‍🍳♻️ Check out my recipe page - LINK IN THE BIO- to make your very own variation of HUMMUS! 🌱💚♻️ #ZeroWaste #PlantBased #VeganRecipe #VeganFood
IS VEGAN SEXY? - Natural has become unnatural. Unnatural has become natural. We’re completely upside down when it comes to food and health. And it’s time for a change 🌱🌱🌱 - 70% of Americans are obese or overweight. And by 2030, 50% of Americans will be diabetic or pre-diabetic, according to @amdiabetesassn 🧐 Currently, 94% of the calories consumed by the typical American eating the standard American diet are empty, lacking any true nourishment whatsoever, with only 6% of calories coming from fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and seeds. - It’s time to reverse the trend. But how? 🧐🧐🧐Simple. Eat more plants. - 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Oh, yeah to all the men reading this and women who want their boyfriend, husband, or brother to transition into a plant-based lifestyle - nothing is more sexy or “manly” than taking care of your body for the benefit of the environment and all beings 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 #Vegan #Sustainability #ZeroWaste #EatMorePlants
FOLLOW YOUR HEART 💚 - Roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year - approximately 1.3 billion tonnes - gets lost or wasted. Food losses and water amounts to roughly $680 billion US in industrialized countries and $310 billion US in developing countries. - Now, this might be hard numbers to digest, but there is HOPE 🙏🏼 All we need to do is start CHANGING! Are you afraid of change? - Start with one or a few changes today and you’ll be making a major impact! My grandmother 👵 who’s in her 90’s has started composting after decades of giving up - DON’T GIVE UP 💪🏼 - 💚 first, declutter your fridge and pantry. 💚 create a list of what you absolutely need - STICK TO THE LIST! 💚 cook food that will be eaten, otherwise SAVE for leftovers. 💚 eat those leftovers, or donate cooked/uncooked food to shelters or those in need. 💚 serve food on smaller plates to reduce the amount of food that’s uneaten. 💚 ever try pickling or canning those veggies or fruits? 💚 store food properly - Be the change! Be the hope! Food should never wasted! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 HOW WILL YOU START REDUCING YOUR FOOD WASTE???

IF THE WORLD WENT VEGAN - It could save 8 million human lives by 2050, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two thirds and lead to healthcare-related savings and avoided climate damages of $1.5 trillion - and the lives of 🐖🐘🦈🐊🐇🦃🐋🐥 source: Oxford Martin School - I will never push or tell anyone that they NEED to #GoVegan, because I believe we should approach ‘what we eat’ and ‘how we live’ by consuming more plants and less animal products. I’m not a doctor or medically trained, but you may have energy, well rested and full nights of sleep, more engaged and present socially or even lose a bit of weight and improve your overall health. All I’m asking is for all of us to become conscious consumers! - Sustainable Fashion: What I Am Wearing... 👕 5 years old, thrift shop 👖 my brother’s pants, 3 years ago 👟 new, but will donate to those in need afterwards. * bracelet: plastic from ocean @4ocean **watch: ocean plastic @awakewatches 💥💥💥 FINALLY! I’ve started a YouTube channel after several requests - I needed to find the time and the moment on my own to decide if I wanted to go down this path. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON MY YOUTUBE?

PROTECT OUR WATERS - Less than one week ago I was in Bali. A beautiful part of the world where I encourage all to visit one day, but be warned... As I walked the streets and coasts, I was bombarded by excessive litter. - I felt like I was in dream, in fact, a horrible nightmare. Single used plastic material cluttered the streets as I walked to my meetings and events. The beaches were even worse... and they’re our last line of defense before this waste tragically enters in our beautiful oceans. What could I do? - I love to believe that picking up rubbish from the beaches would inspire others to join (they did), or at least wake up the minds of the tourists who were bathing on the sand. - Our choices come with consequences that will not only impact our lives, but those of our children’s, our grandchildren’s, and forever more. - 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Question of the day: WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOU SEE LITTER? 🌏🌎🌍🌏🌎🌍 #BeachCleanUp #EndPlasticPollution #ProtectOurOceans #ZeroWasteVegan 📷 @joshuacirjak
