Eat a Plant-Based Diet-Northampton MA
Summary: Start driving clean
Description
Eating meat and dairy products have a critical impact on our climate. Scientists warn that the current system of production and consumption cannot be sustained, with livestock producing about 14.5% of the world's greenhouse gases each year.
By eating a plant-based diet, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the necessary resources we depend on like land and water. Even with little financial investment and going at your own pace, eating less meat and dairy can have a big impact on the climate. By using methods like “Meatless Mondays,” starting with less beef, or switching to dairy alternatives, you can reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions you contribute to the environment.
