Please join us for our weekly online Climate Action 2021 Coffee Chats, where each week we will chat about a different topic relating to the climate crisis, to offer support, advice or even just a sympathetic ear as well as connect community members during these isolating times.

There is a lot to feel nervous about these days, and while the effects of the pandemic are often in the forefront of most of our minds, many of us are simultaneously combating anxiety related to the climate crisis.

Woodland’s Climate Action Project is looking specifically at 4 main strands of activity including: Improving climate literacy, increasing participation in cycling, promoting local and seasonal vegetarian/vegan food and reducing, re-using and recycling. We want to hear your view on these topics! Openly discuss climate anxiety, exchange knowledge, testimonials of small acts and most importantly listen to you, to ensure that we are providing activities through all these strands that are most relevant to you!

This week’s topic of discussion will be the carbon and general environmental footprints of foodstuffs many of us consider staples. When we pick up a food item in the shop, the labelling will tell us what ingredients it contains, how to cook and store it, how much protein, fat, sugar, etc it contains but will rarely specify it’s environmental impact. Would we be better off if such information was made more prominent by law on our food packaging? If we did this, which foodstuffs would be the biggest offenders? I’m willing to bet there would be at least a couple which would surprise you!
