The Science
Meat production is responsible for around 14% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Choose a day to go plant-based and discover how delicious cutting carbon can be! By switching from a meat-based diet to a plant-based diet, for just one day, you can reduce your emissions by nearly 3kg CO2e.
Science of the Month: Cut Your carbon
Choose one of the following topics to investigate/discuss:
- What does ‘carbon footprint’ mean?
- Can you make a vegan/plant-based snack? Share the recipe with your teacher.
- How can you cut your carbon footprint?
