which choice would have the smallest impact on climate change when purchasing apples at the store?

Question

a. Buying apples that are locally grown.
b. Buying apples from farms that plan to use organic practices.
c. Buying apples that have no packaging.
d. Buying apples in large quantities to reduce trips to the store.

Answer 1

The choice that would have the smallest impact on climate change when purchasing apples at the store would be to buy apples that have no packaging (option c). While buying locally grown apples (option a), buying apples from farms that plan to use organic practices (option b), and buying apples in large quantities to reduce trips to the store (option d) can all contribute to reducing carbon emissions and minimizing environmental impact, buying apples without packaging would have the least impact on climate change as it avoids the production and disposal of packaging materials, which often have a significant carbon footprint.
