Reducing your meat consumption in any way — whether you're eating one or two plant-based meals per week, cutting back on the amount of animal-based products you consume, or sticking to Meatless Mondays — is a sustainable act.

Research suggests that even if you change your diet in small ways and eat just a little less meat, you can contribute to large-scale environmental benefits.

Beef is the biggest contributor to carbon pollution so swapping beef for poultry, pork or fish can have an significant impact as well.
