"Swapping out meat for a low-fat vegan diet can slash your greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent, equivalent to cutting out daily car travel emissions."
"After just 12 weeks on the vegan diet, participants' food-related carbon footprint had more than halved to just 1.05 kg of CO2 per day."
"This is real-world clinical trial data showing that changing what we eat can rapidly and meaningfully reduce environmental impact."
"A plant-based diet produced fewer emissions than an omnivorous one, even when it contained the same amount of calories."
A study found that adopting a low-fat vegan diet can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent. Participants in the study, consisting of adults with type 1 diabetes, experienced a reduction in their food-related carbon footprint to 1.05 kg of CO2 per day after 12 weeks on a vegan diet. In contrast, those consuming a meat and dairy diet emitted 1.69 kg of CO2 daily. The research indicates that plant-based diets require less energy for food production and can have a meaningful impact on environmental sustainability.
