Our dietary choices play a crucial role in shaping our individual carbon footprints. By adopting the vegan lifestyle, we can reduce this environmental impact. An Oxford University study found that going vegan is the most effective way to lower our carbon footprint, potentially reducing it by up to 73%. One study even suggests that replacing 30% of animal-folk meat with vegan protein could save eno
