How much impact does your eating pattern have on our environment?

Talk together (2 minutes)

• What are you doing to eat more sustainable?
• Or if you do nothing at the moment, what could you do?
  
• What do you find (most) difficult?
• Is sustainable food cheaper or more expensive?

The assignment

Put together a menu (3 courses) that is sustainable and tasty.

How?

• Work in your group
• Look up recipes (ingredients list)
• Make 3 nice slides with your menu (use pictures)
• Try to find the foodprint for your menu (each seperate ingredient => websites on next slide) 
• Give a conclusion about how sustainable your menu really is, i.e. do you need to change any ingredients?
