"Lasagne or risotto? Muesli bar or brownie? What’s better for the planet? How
do you know for sure?
We’ve crunched the numbers on greenhouse gas emissions so you don’t have to.
All you need is a smartphone with our free ecoSwitch app.
Simply scan the product’s barcode to check the “planetary health rating”. Then
see if it’s worth switching to another product with a better rating.
If every Australian swapped higher-emission products for very similar but
lower-emission products, total emissions from household groceries would fall by
a quarter (26%). Taking this a step further, consistently switching to the
“less similar” lower-emission option – such as swapping to a different type of
bread – would cut emissions from household groceries by a whopping 71%."
