Meat the Truth: CO2 effect of eating no meat for 1 day a week

Meat the Truth:


If all Americans didn't eat meat for just one day a week, this would save the same CO2 emissions as 90 million plane tickets from New York to LA or from LA to New York.
90 Million tickets, each year, just by eating no meat for just one day a week!

In fact Australias livestock industry has already reduced its emissions by 4.7% since 1992, Mr Palmer said.

During the same period, GHG emissions from electricity generation increased by 47.3% and transport by 27.4%*. (*Source: Department of Environment and Climate Change)

The current rules for measuring GHG emissions also fail to take into account the positive contribution that livestock producers make by storing carbon in the soil.
