Why try eating more plant-based

The reasons for trying to reduce or eliminate foods of animal origin are many and mainly concern three macro-themes:

• improve your health also through nutrition and want to have the least impactful ecological footprint possible
• from this point of view, in fact, we know that eating vegetables is one of the most important actions we can do to limit our carbon footprint.

Here are some numbers:according to the calculations of Being Animals starting from the estimates of theIpcc And Our world in date, if the entire world population were vegan for just one day there would be a saving of 22 million tons of CO2, more than the annual emissions of Bolivia;according to data from Water Footprint we would save 6.5 billion cubic meters of water, equal to that needed to fill 2,600 Olympic swimming pools.And, equally important, second Animal Charity Evaluators the killing of over 2 billion animals would be avoided (also considering fish).In just one day.Not bad, right?But where to start trying to eat plant-based?
