Slovenians are big meat lovers. Data for 2018 show that we eat much more meat (92.6 kg) than the European average (69.3 kg). Meat self-sufficiency is 80%, so meat must be imported; especially the pig meat we eat the most.

On a global scale, livestock farming is the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The IPCC therefore calls for a change in not only agricultural practices but also our eating habits.

Almost all Slovenian households have a washing machine and refrigerator, and they possess more and more dishwashers, dryers and microwaves. While, on the one hand, the consumption of electricity and other resources is reduced due to rapid and exceptional technological improvements (such as smart appliances), it is also increasing the number of these appliances in households, which negates the achievements in efficient use of resources. This is usually referred to as the "Rebound effect".
