<h2>What?</h2>
<p>
<strong>What is this?</strong> This website enables conscious
businesses and people to measure their food & drink emissions.
</p>
<p>
Calculating itemised food and drink emissions can be challenging and
inefficient [1][2]. This tool takes a different approach by using
aggregated data, standardising the process, and empowering people to
quickly and conveniently record their emissions. The details can be
found in the <a href="/methodology/">Methodology</a> section.
</p>
<h2>Who?</h2>
<p>
<strong>Who is this for?</strong> Environmentally conscious business
employees and individuals wanting to measure and reduce their food and
drink emissions.
</p>
<h2>Why?</h2>
<p>
<strong>Why should I do this?</strong> By measuring food and drink
emissions, we're taking the first step to emissions reduction. If your
business already tracks transport emissions, the case for measuring
your food and drink emissions is convincing. For example, by choosing
Vegan over a Meat and Dairy diet for 2 days could save the equivalent
emissions of travelling 89 miles by train [3].
</p>
<h2>How?</h2>
<p>
<strong>How do I use this?</strong> The fundamental idea is to measure
the emissions of the food and drink that a business pays for on an
individual basis. For example, if an individual goes on a 2 day
business trip, these food and drink emissions are recorded.
</p>
<p>
On the <a href="/">Home</a> page, you can optionally enter the trip
start date, then the number of days of the trip. Next, for each meal
of the day including Breakfast, Lunch, Evening Meals, and Everything
Else (snacks), the number of days that each diet (including Vegan,
Vegetarian and Meat & Dairy) is followed should be selected.
</p>
<p>
Don't worry if your diet doesn't follow the standard Breakfast, Lunch,
Evening Meal format, simply distribute your 'days' to each mealtime
however you feel best represents your diet for each day. You must
allocate all of your trip days to each meal time.
