Carbon Footprint
Animal Products make up more than half of the carbon footprint of all food products combined.
If you include Dairy Products that’s a whopping 66.6% of all the food we eat.
According to PETA:
The U.N. believes that a global shift toward plant-based food is vital if we are to combat the worst effects of the climate crisis. By some estimates, animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gases than all of the world’s transportation systems combined.
If you’re serious about protecting the environment, the most important thing that you can do is stop eating meat, eggs, and dairy “products”.
