Eating Up the World

Our planet faces serious environmental challenges. Water shortages, global warming, land degradation,  deforestation, ocean degradation, food shortages and species extinction are just some of these important issues. It is now clear that we are using the Earth’s resources at an unsustainable rate. The problems we face as a result have an impact at all levels: on our planet, our cities and towns, our families and ourselves.

Many Australians understand the fragile nature of our environment and are taking action to reduce their personal impact. We are reducing car usage, using energy efficient light globes, taking shorter showers and implementing other important actions. While these initiatives have some benefits, they fail to address one of biggest causes of our environmental problems… what we eat.

This booklet highlights some of the key problems that are facing our planet and us, shedding some light on the current  condition of the environment and what the future holds. Most importantly, effective solutions are offered that can easily be implemented to make significant improvements to the wellbeing and sustainability of our environment.
