Bananas
Letβs talk about bananas. So, while bananas as a fruit donβt have as much environmental impact, the movement of bananas across countries worldwide has a significant environmental impact.
Most people eat bananas, and as a result of increased consumption, leading countries of bananas like the Philippines and Costa Rica export lots of bananas to Europe.
Sadly, these bananas and even other fruits and vegetables travel many miles before they reach a local grocery store in Europe. This process releases carbon emissions into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
