The research shows that a big meat-eater's diet produces an average of 10.24 kg of planet-warming greenhouse gasses each day. A low meat-eater produces almost half that at 5.37 kg per day. And for vegan diets - it's halved again to 2.47 kg a day.

We need to completely cut out all animal products.

I think getting 8 million people to give up their cars is a lot easier than getting 75million people to reduce their meet intake to 1 steak a week. But I think the most important thing is to lobby your government to do more, and secondly to make personal choices that have the biggest positive impact and the least impact on your life, and just constantly knock out the low hanging fruit.

Going vegan is the most impactful thing you can do for the environment.
