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!

Today’s alarming report from the Global Carbon Project, an international team of scientists, found methane levels are currently projected at the “worst case scenario. Nevertheless, the chart accompanying their report shows cattle and manure at the very top level of these methane emissions, not fossil fuels.
Consumers can help reduce climate change impacts, especially methane, by what they eat. That means consumers can help by reducing their meat consumption, especially beef, which is the largest contributor on the methane chart, said Climate Diet Executive Director, Jane DeMarines.
In all food groups, Climate Diet, a nonprofit dedicated to creating awareness of how a person’s diet impacts on the environment, found that beef consistently sits at the top of greenhouse gas emissions.
Consumers need to be aware that buying a hybrid may not be the most potent act in helping prevent continuing climate change impacts, but choosing a reduced-meat diet can produce a measurable and important effect.
U.S. schools can play a part by producing school lunches without meat one or two days a week, creating a comprehensive, sustaining and measurable response, while educating the next generation, said DeMarines.
Dear friend, Hottest Days on Record recorded this month! Yes, 3 of the hottest days ever recorded occurred in the past month…with devastating impacts worldwide-
We can feel alarm—but not despair because there are actions we can take to lower our carbon footprint—and limit climate change.
Climate Diet was formed 3 years ago to do precisely this—promote awareness of human actions—our diets—and how they contribute to climate change. Visit www.climatediet.org

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!
