Q&A for How to Live a Greener Life

There are numerous fantastic cake recipes available online, but often, when you're opting for a vegan version, you'll find the need to replace eggs, and one common substitute is the flax egg in the plant-based culinary realm. It's quite straightforward: you simply acquire milled or crushed flaxseed from the store (not in its whole form), creating a powder-like substance. The ratio is one tablespoon of flax meal to three tablespoons of water. Allow this mixture to sit on your counter, and the flax will take on a gelatinous texture, acting as a binder akin to traditional eggs in recipes.

Shopping online can help you shop exclusively for eco-friendly items. But if transport is the issue, shopping locally might be a better idea for you.

"Green" and "healthy" can be related to each other, but "greener" with regard to eating really means causing less damage to the environment and consuming fewer natural resources during the production of food.

Use public transport like buses, trains and trams for travelling longer distances, especially ones that produce less emissions (such as hydrogen buses). Consider carpooling if you are going to the same place as someone else who is using their car anyway. You can walk or cycle shorter to medium distances. If it is not possible for you to go car free at the moment, instead switch to a greener car, like an electric car and try to reduce car usage as much as you can.
