Your plant-based impact
Set how often you eat plant-based, and see the good it does over a year. These are gentle estimates from published diet research — meant to encourage, not to judge.
Here's the good you're doing for the planet each year:
CO₂e kept out of the airkg per year
animals sparedper year (estimate)
1,118 kg per year — CO₂e kept out of the air. 19 per year (estimate) — animals spared.
That's a real, meaningful difference — and it adds up more every week.
And every day, your plate is lighter on the earth
- ~25% of a high-meat diet's greenhouse gases
- ~25% of its farmland
- ~46% of its water use
A vegan diet's footprint compared with a high-meat diet (Oxford, Nature Food 2023).
The animals figure is a conservative estimate (mostly chickens, US data); counting seafood it is much higher.
Estimates from published UK/global diet studies, shown to encourage. You don't have to be perfect to do real good.
