Green Fact

A plant-rich diet not only reduces GHG emissions, but also wildlife loss, ocean acidification, and resource use. For these reasons, some researchers argue that a vegan diet is the single biggest way an individual can reduce their impact on Earth, making it better than cutting down on flights or buying an electric car.
