    Going vegetarian doesn’t seem to be the most impactful when you look at the numbers, as per this video. Vegan diets still have the lowest GHG footprint and GWP of all diets.

    That being said, I went vegetarian first before going vegan. So your point is entirely valid.

      Honestly I wasn’t aware the difference is that big. I thought cows were bad mostly for the meat, but apparently milk is at least as bad. 🤥

      That sucks. ☹️

        If you want to see what the heck veganism is about compared to vegetarianism, check this resource out.

        But yeah! Leather is also bad for the same reason, contributing to the same industry. There are alternatives out there so don’t feel bad!

        One step at a time, like you’ve mentioned in your other comments.
