Eating less meat will help you on your quest to reduce your carbon emissions. The cow is the worst emissions offender, largely because of what come out of it’s other end!

Have a read of this article

Burning fuel to produce fertiliser to grow feed, to produce meat and to transport it - and clearing vegetation for grazing - produces 9 per cent of all emissions of carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas. And their wind and manure emit more than one third of emissions of another, methane, which warms the world 20 times faster than carbon dioxide.

 

So If you don’t fancy becoming fully vegan, just a reduction in the amount of meat meals you consume will help.
