Abstrakt: In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to use carbon emission calculations from two dining halls on a midsized university campus in the Midwestern US to inform a behavioral and an environmental intervention, both aimed at promoting sustainable eating. The carbon calculations determined that meat products had the highest average emissions per pound of product, whereas plant-based foods had significantly lower emissions. Based on the carbon emissions of foods served in the dining halls, we developed a behavioral and environmental intervention to promote sustainable eating through the consumption of plant-based food.
