Earth Month: Taking Care of Mother Earth

March 31, 2025 by Alexis Ortiz

I’m sure you’ve heard some facts about the impact of animal agriculture on Mother Earth. But, let me quantify the impact of your dietary choices.*

Each day of eating a plant-based diet saves:

  • 1,100 gallons of water
  • 45 lbs of grain
  • 30 sq ft of forest
  • 20 lbs of CO2
  • 1 animal’s life

If you pledged to go plant-based for April, multiply your impact by 30 days (see below)!!!!!!

Lent on a plant-based diet saves:

  • 33,000 gallons of water
  • 1,350 lbs of grain
  • 900 sq ft of forest
  • 600 lbs of CO2
  • 30 animals’ lives

And, just to blow your mind, here’s what a year would save:

  • 401,500 gallons of water
  • 16,425 lbs of grain
  • 10,950 sq ft of forest
  • 7,300 lbs of CO2
  • 365 animals’ lives

So…I challenge you to make a commitment during Earth Month to be part of the solution. If you need help, feel free to reach out to Laura Beck at: ljbveganmentor@gmail.com

 

*Statistics obtained from Plant City in Providence, which is an excellent place to eat out by the way!
