Did you know?
Meat and diary industries are one of the biggest polluting industries in the world. Avoiding meat and dairy products is the biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet. Research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% and still feed the world. While meat and dairy provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, it uses the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produces 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions.
If you are a big meat consumer, try to reduce your consumption little by little. Why not try a meat-free day every week for example? This could be a first step!
If you already consume very little meat, try to reduce even more and find ways to replace meat and diary in your diet.
Change your diet progressively and you will see, there are some great recipes out there that do not require meat! It is just a matter of trying. The impact on the environment will be huge! Easy!
