Why Veganism & Vegetarian Impact Sustainability

Recently, I found myself in a heated discussion about food preferences (and choices) with a kickball teammate on a Friday evening after a few glasses of whiskey.

45 minutes later, we were able to agree about why vegetarianism, going local & eating choices impact the environment. It was definitely an interesting (and good-natured) convo.

However, this infographic would have came in handy (and probably cut the length of convo)… Enjoy!
