There are many reasons for trying a plant-based diet - from health to ethics and sustainability. Studies show that one of the most efective things a person can do to lower their carbon footprint is to avoid all animal products.* The reality is that meat and dairy farming contribute to global warming, pollution, deforestation, land degradation and loss of native species. Adopting a varied vegan diet, however, produces less emissions and uses about a third of the land and three times less water.*
