Alright, let’s talk about something huge that’s hiding in plain sight—what we eat. We all know about electric cars and reusable coffee cups, but swapping out meat and dairy for plant-based options is one of the biggest things we can do for the planet.
Vegan Society is shouting this from the rooftops, and honestly, they’ve got a point. Animal farming guzzles up land and water like there’s no tomorrow, not to mention the ridiculous amounts of greenhouse gases it pumps into the air. Scientists say if we ate more plants, we’d slash emissions, free up land for rewilding, and give the planet some much-needed breathing space.
And the best part?!? It’s easier than ever. Supermarkets are stacked with plant-based goodies, and even our local chippy probably does an amazing vegan option. No one’s saying you have to go full vegan overnight, but even a couple of swaps make a huge difference.
So next time you’re grabbing lunch, maybe give that plant-based burger a go.
