Less Meat, Less Heat

Want to do your part for climate change? Adopt a plant-rich diet!

Shifting to an eating pattern rich in plants and low in animal-based foods reduces global warming and chronic disease—which means it’s good for you AND good for the planet. Reducing global demand for meat and dairy can save a huge amount of energy, water, land and other resources. Delicious and nutritious plant-based proteins of all kinds are gaining popularity and are more widely available than ever before. It's never been easier or more enjoyable to increase the number of plants you eat. Start small and target one day per week!
