Description: Benefits of being Plant-based: Land required to feed 1 person for 1 year: Vegan: 1/6th acre Vegetarian: 3x as much as a vegan Meat Eater: 18x as much as a vegan As a vegan, I save 1,100 gallons of water, 45 pounds of grain, 30 sq ft of forested land, 20 lbs CO2 equivalent, and one animal’s life each day, It feels AMAZING! Livestock and their byproducts account for at least 32,000 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year, or 51% of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. Eating plant-based reduces carbon emission dramatically! We could see fishless oceans by 2048. 90-100 million tons of fish are pulled from our oceans each year. Eating avocado-cucumber sushi rolls is worth saving our oceans and fish.
