A massive study just published in Science has underlined just how huge the environmental impact of meat/dairy consumption is. Going #vegan is far and away the single biggest thing we can do to help the environment - it fights #ClimateChange, #WaterWaste, #deforestation, #extinction, #pollution, and more.
18% of global calories, but 83% of land usage. If we want to feed everyone, this tremendously bad land management and capitalist profit prioritisation needs to change.
@starbreaker Even cutting down makes some impact.
@pertho As it is I eat beef maybe once a month. I tend to use turkey or pork when a recipe calls for meat. I've been working on reducing meat intake not because I give a fuck about the environment, but to save money.
