REASONS TO GO VEGAN PT2 | The Environment

Uploaded on Apr 2, 2016

Hey! Welcome to day 3 of VEDA! What we eat makes a tremendous difference to the world. Did you know that if you take up a vegan lifestyle (no dairy, meat, eggs or fish), your carbon footprint will be reduced by 60%? If you count yourself as a 'greenie' but consume animal products, maybe it is time to think carefully about your choices. Here are some stats I researched, hope you enjoy and check out the other 2 parts of the 'Reasons to go Vegan' series.
