🌍 30% of greenhouse gas emissions are absorbed by the ocean.
🍽️ 25% of our carbon footprint comes from food.

Without the ocean, the planet’s average temperature would be 50°C instead of today’s 15°C. But the ocean is suffocating — due to reduced CO₂ absorption, changing currents, deoxygenation, and acidification.

Our food choices are a major cause.
Each French person emits 2+ tons of CO₂ equivalent just through food — the total per-person target for 2050 across all sectors!

Switching to a plant-based diet brings this down to 650 kg, reducing our food-related carbon footprint by three.
