You can also save energy when cooking - by choosing meals that only require a few minutes to cook or using a high-pressure cooker, for example. Eating together is another way! Besides being enjoyable, it is often less expensive. Moreover, for a real eco-friendly meal you can use organically-grown vegetables in season, preferably from a source in your own region.
