How We Calculate
We use a difference-based methodology: impact saved = average omnivore meal minus average plant-based meal. All figures represent impact avoided by choosing plant-based.
CO2 Savings
An average omnivore meal produces 2.0 kg CO2 vs 0.8 kg for plant-based, saving 1.2 kg per meal.
Water Savings
An omnivore meal uses ~1,000 L vs 600 L for plant-based, saving 400 L per meal.
Land Savings
Plant-based meals use 4 m² vs 12 m² for omnivore meals, saving 8 m² per meal.
Animals Spared
Approximately 0.167 animals are spared per plant-based meal (0.5 per day / 3 meals).
