Since the Losties don't have many options in the way of livestock production, most of their protein comes in the form of vegetables and fish. As much as I wish it weren't true, vegetarian diets are greener than meat diets. Other than the occasional wild boar that Locke drags in -- hunting is considered green in some cases -- there's not a lot of meat-eating going on.

By sticking to a diet of Sun's vegetable produce and the fish that Jin is able to haul in, the Lost diet has a respectably low carbon footprint. That is, if you leave out the DHARMA initiative's "Periodic Resupply Drops" -- using airlifts to feed so few people is certainly not eco-friendly.

Some experts estimate that livestock production accounts for 20% of our greenhouse emissions -- that's even more than transportation. In the US, we consume an average of 100 grams of protein per day, 75% of that is from animal proteins. We only need about 30 grams. If we ate green like the guys on Lost, we would get our daily nutrients and use less land space to support our eating habits.
