A new study published in Global Environmental Change shows by cutting meat and dairy consumption by 25 percent, we could reduce two greenhouse gases by 80 percent. This is a big, honking deal. So if you’re thinking about moving to a more plant-based diet, welcome aboard and thanks for helping the environment. You’ll be helping your wallet, too, because plant-based protein is cheaper than most animal protein, and you’ll be helping yourself — plant-based protein is low in fat and contains zero cholesterol.
