At Climate Diet, we shed light on a critical, yet often-overlooked climate change culprit—animal agriculture. Recognized as the second-largest producer of human-made greenhouse gas emissions, animal farming is also the leading cause of deforestation, pollution, biodiversity loss, and soil erosion.
While seeking environmental-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is paramount, it’s equally important for humanity to choose a more sustainable, plant-based diet. Together, we can tackle the dual challenges of climate change and food insecurity.

Read MoreWe all yearn for ways to make a meaningful impact on our planet’s well-being. One simple yet powerful step to achieve this is to reduce our carbon footprint by consuming less meat and dairy. Our Meat Down Pledge offers an opportunity to affirm your commitment to this cause.
Why take the pledge? By pledging to abstain from eating meat, fish, or dairy just one day per week, we can bring about a significant change. Imagine if the entire U.S. joined us for a month: we would eliminate 9 million tons of carbon per day. Continuing this for a year would lead to 144 million tons of carbon reduction. The effect would be akin to replacing 25 million vehicles with electric ones!

Washington--6.27.24--Americans like their burgers, but as climate change, clearly and severely affects our living environments via storms destroying highways, coastal towns, and uncontrolled wildfires, with hundreds dying of temperatures reaching 125 degrees F in the middle east, we all must consider solutions.
“Urgent and bold actions are needed, Jane DeMarines, Climate Diet, a nonprofit located in Washington, DC said, “on a global scale to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to sustainable energy sources, and particularly human adoption of diets that currently result in deforestation of major rainforests (Amazon).”
Raising Livestock and their food causes 1/3 of all greenhouse gas emissions.
DeMarines said that creating those burgers, raising livestock and their food causes the loss of carbon sequestering trees, agricultural pollutants such as pesticides, big transportation costs to transfer huge two-ton animals to slaughterhouses are not often included in the climate costs.
These impacts from raising livestock need to be tallied correctly, so people understand the impacts from the enormous meat production, especially in the United States, that no one seems to notice or think about—but when tallied correctly is a massive impact of environmental degradation. (U.S. ranks 1st in meat consumption in the world.)
Changing to alternatives to beef burgers with so many alternatives is not hard, especially considering beef is the most harmful meat to human health from highly saturated fat, and by the far the largest producer of pollution in all food groups. Vegetables and fruits create a tiny fraction of pollution compared to beef production’s greenhouse gases.
Yet change may be forthcoming, as a new consumer survey says nearly 2/3-- 60% of consumers are open to meat alternatives. 60% of US Consumers Open to Cultivated Chicken, Beef, & Pork Despite Taste and Health Doubts Survey, Finds.
Good news for our climate, and our health if we trend in that direction.

Fight for Earth!Animal agriculture is one of the leading contributors to climate change, taking up 80% of the world’s land area but only contributing to 20% of the global supply of calories. Most Americans consume more protein from meat than nutrition experts recommend. Renowned chef Alain Ducasse states, “Vegetable protein is more than enough to satisfy the nutritional needs of an individual.” Clearly, we don’t need as much meat as we’re consuming.
A staggering 70 billion animals are raised annually for human consumption, taking up 80% of global agricultural land. Furthermore, 16% of global freshwater is dedicated to growing livestock. With the demand for meat and dairy products expected to rise, we are placing a massive burden on Earth’s finite resources.
The solution to this looming environmental crisis is to shift to plant-based meals as much as possible. Why kill an animal for a burger when you can get one made from plants that are just as tasty and better for you?
“LET THY FOOD BE THY MEDICINE AND MEDICINE BE THY FOOD.”
– Hippocrates
Plant-based diets have been proven to offer numerous health benefits. Plants are rich in fiber, which can help lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and promote good bowel health. Additionally, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and mental illnesses.
Leading medical expert Dr. Neal Barnard emphasizes that “A plant-based diet is not only the easiest and healthiest way to lose weight and keep it off, but all the ‘side effects’ are good ones. It’s a powerful way to turn conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or type 2 diabetes around.”
The best part about shifting to a plant-based diet is knowing your diet choices protect the environment. Turning ranch land into forests will mitigate the effects of climate change and create new habitats and reduce water pollution. You don’t need to have a cape to be a superhero—you just need to choose to switch to delicious and healthy vegetables!
