How much disposable items are you using while cooking?
Very little.
Will these be recycled or end up on the landfill?
One of the contradictions of China is that, while there is appalling pollution almost everything can be recycled. Not only that but they pay you for your garbage! Metals, paper, plastic, cloth etc. are all recycled. Food is gathered and used to feed pigs. Even toilet waste is gathered and used as fertiliser.
How much energy does it take to cook your meal?
Don't know, exactly. Like most people I mainly use gas rather than electricity (except for the rice cooker) and 99% of my cooking is done in a wok, which as I'm sure you all know was developed to save fuel. I do have a stand alone induction cooker that maybe gets used once a year.
Could you change for a better option?
I'm not perfect, so yes. Not sure what that would be though.
Food, ingredients:
How much is organic?
Very little I'm sure. Unfortunately, China has no real legal definition of "organic". I do buy what is labelled as organic chicken (土鸡) , but have no real way of knowing other then by taste.
How much of the left overs will be used?
Usually, most. Lunch next day.
How much food do you throw out that could have been eaten?
I used to throw away much more. Cutting down on that
Will it be composed or end up in the landfill?
Fed to pigs.
Could you change one habit that would make your dinners more environmentally friendly?
Eat less meat.
