Animal production accounts for almost 15 percent of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. Among other things, it writes, But it's not always easy to know - are even ordinary dinner dishes the ones that cause a lot or little greenhouse gas emissions?
In the quiz, we take a closer look at four dishes - spaghetti and meat sauce, salmon and potatoes, chicken fillet with rice and a Greek salad.
The World Wildlife Fund WWF has set up 11 kg of carbon dioxide equivalents as a limit per person and week, when it comes to food. An individual dinner or lunch should, on average, not exceed 0.5 carbon dioxide equivalents to meet the goal of a maximum of 1.5 degrees of global warming.
What, then, means the super-complicated word carbon dioxide equivalents?
Yes, it is simply a measure of greenhouse gas emissions, taking into account that different such gases have different capacities to contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
The point of the concept is that you can then compare different things with each other - for example, two dishes containing meat from two different animals.
