“A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use,” said Joseph Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. “It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he said, as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The research also found grass-fed beef, thought to be relatively low impact, was still responsible for much higher impacts than plant-based food. “Converting grass into [meat] is like converting coal to energy. It comes with an immense cost in emissions,” Poore said.
Or just hold corporations accountable and get them to lower their emissions? Cause I could spend all day every day eating meat and spraying cans of cfcs and I’d have less of an impact. Just a thought.
Research before you say something so inaccurate. Also you’re eating meat directly funds corporations. It’s supply and demand. And what a corporation does with the money you give them, you are partially responsible for
