People may think that food choice is only important for keeping a healthy weight. However, the 
way we eat and the food choices we make every day also have a big impact on the environment.
Food production is a major contributor to climate change. The process of growing, manufacturing, 
and transporting food, especially meat and dairy products, involves the use of fossil fuels. We all 
know that burning fossil fuels releases a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All 
the ingredients for our meals require land, water, and energy to produce, so the food we choose can 
either increase or decrease our carbon footprint. In addition, transporting food over long distances 
can create more greenhouse gas emissions.
So what should we do? We should start by eating local and organic food. This can not only limit 
the amount of carbon dioxide produced during transportation, but can also help us avoid pesticides 
that are harmful to the environment. We should also choose a healthier diet with less animal-based 
foods and more vegetables. Raising livestock for food requires huge amounts of water and grain, Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest painters and thinkers in his era. His works have 
influenced not only other artists and painters, but also people working in scientific fields.
He was born in 1452 in a small town near Vinci, Italy. Leonardo loved nature and spent a lot of 
time drawing pictures of animals and plants. He received little formal education, but his uncle and 
father soon discovered his talent, so they decided to send him to a workshop in Florence to 
apprentice with the master artist Verrocchio. Da Vinci not only improved his skills in drawing, 
painting, and sculpting, but he also picked up knowledge and technical skills in other areas 
including mechanics, carpentry, and architecture.
In 1472, Leonardo qualified as a master artist and opened his own workshop. However, he still 
continued to work together with Verrocchio until 1477. Then, he started working independently and 
completed a painting for the Duke of Milan. His work made a huge impression on the Duke who 
decided to offer him a position in his court. Da Vinci was invited to design innovative buildings, 
machines, and weapons. He would draw up plans for several inventions of the future such as tanks, 
submarines, and flying machines. He was also skilled at drawing detailed sketches of the human 
body. 
Unfortunately, his interests were so broad that he often changed his focus to a new project and rarely 
finished the works he had started. The Last Supper and Mona Lisa were two of the masterpieces he 
could finish during his lifetime. In 1495, he started The Last Supper, which took him nearly three 
years to complete. In 1503, he began painting the Mona Lisa and worked on it over several years 
until his death.
Da Vinci died in 1519, but he is still considered as one of the greatest geniuses. His paintings 
changed the world of art, and many inventions were carried out based on his ideas and sketches. 
His greatness lies in the depth and diversity of his knowledge, and 500 years after his death his 
genius shines as bright as ever.
