The roast Christmas dinner is a valued tradition for many families in the UK and across the globe.

The health implications and environmental impacts of our diet have now become a regular discussion topic, with sustainable dietary advice recommending that we reduce meat consumption and increase the amount of plant-based proteins, fruits and vegetables we eat.

But what does this practically mean at Christmas? And how can we make our Christmas dinner more sustainable? Here are some tips to help you reduce the environmental impact of your Christmas feast.

tl;dr; eat turkey, cook it with sous vide, nuke the potatoes and veggies, eat what you take. Thank goodness no more recommendations to eat insects; they must have finally conceded that dog won't hunt...

    There are many sciences. Science encapsulates them all. Any one of them will require the scientific process and introduce you to the critical thinking necessary.

    Even "computer science"... I attended a university with a "school of mathematical sciences". Because the mathematics are science too, and there are many mathematics, and many mathematical sciences, let alone sciences themselves.

    You can't "study science" as a whole. It doesn't work like that any more (not since the Dark Ages has one person been able to grasp the majority of all known science). You can study a science. You can study multiple sciences. Any of them are "science". They are all also each a science in their own right.

    Nobody gets a degree / PhD in "science". They get one in a specific subset. Even the old "biology, chemistry, physics" isn't sufficient categorisation - engineering is a science, mathematics are, geological science, all kinds of things.

    Science is a process and even a "theology", but you don't study "science". You study a particular science. And literally ANY one will do. A mathematician will have as good a grasp of the underlying mechanics of science as a electronics engineer or a particle physicist. But you can't state that you need to be a particle physicist to understand science. You just need to have studied a science, any science, to a sufficient degree to realise the principles and get the grounding into how to do your own research, critique and confirm scientific publishing, or even get the proper feel for what's scientific and what's trash.
