Eat Veggies, Reduce Carbon Footprints

Per person, in the United States, an animal based diet requires 4,200 gallons of water per day (for animals' drinking water, irrigation of the crops that they eat, processing and cooking). A vegan diet requires 300 gallons water per day.

Nine times more energy is required to produce protein from animal foods as compared to plant foods.
