92.2 billion.
That's how many land animals are killed for food every single year. The highest number in human history. (EcoWatch)
We rarely let ourselves picture it. So here is what that scale is doing to the planet we all share.
Animal-based foods cause 57% of all food emissions, nearly double that of plant-based foods. (EcoWatch)
Livestock alone pollutes as much as every car, plane, train and ship on Earth combined. (EcoWatch)
And it swallows 83% of the world's farmland to give back just 18% of our calories. (EcoWatch)
It sounds hopeless. It isn't.
Shifting toward plant-based eating could cut our food system's emissions by 49%, its land use by 76% and its freshwater use by 19%. (EcoWatch)
Not overnight. Not perfectly. Just a few more plant-based meals each week, from enough of us, changes the entire picture. (EcoWatch)
The animals can't choose. We can. Every plate is a vote for the world we want.
Pick one meal this week to make the change.
