• Red Meat has extensive emissions (less efficient; methene from rumination), followed by chicken and dairy
• Foreign fragile fruit/vegetables like blueberries or grapes are shipped by plane which have large emissions
• Foreign durable fruit/vegetables like apples or bananas are shipped on low-emission ships
  • These may still be polluting
• Foreign fragile fruit/vegetables are flown in which is awful.
