Lowering carbon emissions is becoming hotter and hotter ever, and literally the same to our global temperature. However, in this day and age, how much do you know about climate change and the effects it has on our lives? Does switching to vegetarianism or not having pets have a more substantial impact on our carbon footprint? Let’s find out more with our blog below!

減碳排發已經係一個非常普遍的話題,而全球暖化亦順利成章地日益嚴重。但其實喺電視或者社交媒體上面睇到的你又記得幾多呢?或者大部份人忽略提及的方面唔知你又知幾多呢。下面會有幾個有趣的小知識,睇下你又有冇聽過喎!

雖然轉食素所減的碳排放會比不養寵物的為多,但是轉食素的時間需要夠長時間才能累積累銷。但其實轉食素的好處也不只減碳排放的一個好處,也對我們的健康有着長期幫助。所以如果仲諗緊轉唔轉素的你又多左個好好的原因!
