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.
I'm not going to go vegan to save the environment. However, I DO support killing off beef/dairy subsidies.
@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.
