According to Project Drawdown's comprehensive climate survey, eating a plant-based diet is the second most impactful individual action we can take for our climate globally. Each day as a vegan you will save 1,100 gallons of water. By going vegan for a full year, you will reduce your diet emissions by 70% compared to typical Western diet. A vegan diet reduces your carbon footprint even more than a vegetarian diet because dairy products are high emissions foods. Cheese is third in carbon emissions from food largely because of the methane and carbon dioxide emitted by cattle.
