Did you know…

Eating a veggie diet means 2.5 x less carbon emissions than a meat diet.

A chicken breast takes over 735 litres of water to produce, that could fill up your bathtub 4.6 times.

Eating vegetarian for a year saves emissions equivalent to taking a small car off the road for 6 months.

Whether veggie, vegan or flexi, start your journey today.
