Eating meat and dairy products have a critical impact on our climate. Scientists warn that the current system of production and consumption cannot be sustained, with livestock producing about 14.5% of the world’s greenhouse gases each year. 

By eating a plant-based diet, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the necessary resources we depend on like land and water. Eating a plant based diet (or eating one less meal with meat per week) can save up to .9 tons of CO2 per year! Learn more in this article. Even with little financial investment and going at your own pace, eating less meat and dairy can have a big impact on the climate. By using methods like “Meatless Mondays,” starting with less beef, or switching to dairy alternatives, you can reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions you contribute to the environment.
