Swopping from animal to plant based foods can make a considerable reduction to our carbon footprint. According to Exeter Council’s website:-
- 1 vegetarian day per week (52 days a year) can save nearly 100kgs of CO2 per year.
- 1 vegetarian week per month (12 weeks a year) can save nearly 153kgs of CO2 per year.
- 1 vegan day per week (52 days a year) can save nearly 143kgs of CO2 per year.
- 1 vegan week per month (12 weeks a year) can save nearly 231kgs of CO2 per year.
The BBC has an interesting calculator that compares the footprint of different types of food – https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46459714
