A vegetarian diet is five times less polluting than a meat-based one, therefore eating less meat will have not only a positive effect on our health but may be an efficient way to protect the planet too.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has linked animal agriculture to a number of other environmental problems, including: contamination of aquatic ecosystems, soil, and drinking water by manure, pesticides, and fertilizers.
