DIET

Changing parts of your diet, particularly by reducing how much meat you eat, could cut your carbon footprint by as much as half, and bring other benefits such as to your health and animal wellbeing. You can start to make a positive difference just by moving away from red meats, or by reducing your total meat consumption. Cutting down on meat and dairy also reduces pressure on land such as deforestation.
