Plant-based choices use less land and water and produce far fewer emissions than animal products. Choosing plant-based is the easiest way to do something good for the planet. On this page, you can see exactly why.
We use as much as half of habitable land for animal feed and farms. That comes at the expense of trees, plants, insects and wild animals.
Animal products use far more agricultural land than plant-based products. Choose plant-based more often. This gives nature more space.
Greenhouse gases warm the planet. This leads to more extreme weather and rising sea levels. The animal agriculture industry emits more greenhouse gases than the entire transport sector.
Compared with animal products, plant-based products produce far fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Choose plant-based more often. This helps slow global warming.
Animal agriculture and fishing harm seas and rivers. Manure, fishing nets and overfishing damage aquatic life.
Clean drinking water is scarce in many places. Animal products require much more water than plant-based products because animals drink water and because their feed (such as corn and soy) needs water to grow.
Plant-based products require much less water. Choose plant-based more often. This helps reduce water waste.
Choose plant-based for the planet. With every meal built around plants and fewer animal products, you help protect land, water, wildlife, plants and the climate.
