The meat and dairy industries generate tons of pollution. Cattle alone produces enough greenhouse gases in a year to rival the countries of China and the United States! Changing your diet may seem like a minor way to fight climate change, but the results can be really significant.
- For example, if you reduce your consumption of animal protein by half, you'll cut your dietary carbon footprint by more than 40%.
- Try to incorporate more fresh fruit and vegetables into your diet. Buy organic whenever you can—not only is this healthier for you, but organic produce requires less energy to grow.
