Researchers have linked dietary data from over 55,000 individuals with data on the environmental impacts of the foods they eat. The team, from the Livestock, Environment and People (LEAP) project at the University of Oxford, found that the dietary impacts of vegans were around a third of those of high meat eaters. They also saw a 30% difference between high- and low-meat diets for most of the measures of environmental harm.

    If you want change it does not have to stop at your plate

      It is the single change everyone can make with the biggest impact. But don’t worry, a) you are old enough that you don’t matter b) you will see the future vegan because we would have to grind everything else to 0 if we want to support the animal industry, it alone will increase temperature by 2°C and from 3°C and upwards there is no more animal industry possible due to harvest loss and increased energy demand. Just chill and think you have done more than every vegan because you are not driving a car, well done, you are the one with no car.

        I don’t believe it makes any difference at all, and it definitely doesn’t have the biggest impact anyone can make.

              I am sure you did your own research on the shitter. Much smart, such proof, many scientific.

                  I think you are just a egoistical self centered science denier who has troubles with very simple concepts.

                    i think you don’t understand science if you think the poore nemecek paper supports the fluff piece you referenced.
