Your homegrown zucchini from the balcony is less sustainable than the conventional zucchini from the supermarket. Surprised? We were too! But that is the conclusion of an international study, the first to compare the carbon footprints of home-grown and farmed produce. Still, researchers say urban…

In German-speaking countries, cream soda is not a standard supermarket beverage. Instead, it is often only available as an imported product in U.S./U.K. or Asian sections. (Note: Mass-produced brands like A&W (U.S.) and Barr (U.K.) typically contain artificial flavors, colors, and corn syrup.
You’ll have the smallest ecological footprint if you use cream soda syrups that you carbonate or mix with sparkling water yourself.)
