Why Sustainability Matters
The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat—it's unfolding in our everyday lives. And surprisingly, one of the most powerful tools we have to fight it is on our plates.
The Big Picture
What if we told you that every meal you eat is a climate decision—and most people don't realize it?
Food is a hidden climate lever that companies overlook, but GreenEats changes that.
"Every meal, every choice, every day—together, we can make a measurable difference."
GreenEats empowers individuals and organizations to take real, measurable action starting with something we all do: eat.
The Hidden Problem
Food systems are responsible for 34% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet food is often overlooked in climate action conversations.

When people think of sustainability, they focus on driving less or recycling. When companies act on climate, they usually target:
- •Scope 1: Emissions from their own operations
- •Scope 2: Emissions from purchased electricity and energy
But this misses the biggest and most invisible source:
Scope 3 emissions from supply chains and employee behavior.
Scope 3 is rarely tracked, yet it represents the biggest share of emissions.
