Did you know that the primary driver of climate change isn’t plastics, cars, or airplanes? It’s actually animal agriculture and our industrialized food system. In their new book EAT FOR THE PLANET, authors Nil Zacharias and Gene Stone share compelling arguments and infographics that support what scientists across the world are beginning to affirm and uphold: dietary changes from an animal-based to a plant-based diet can have an extremely dramatic, lasting impact on our planet. You can help save the world—one bite at a time.
Start by leaving animal products off your plate. Replace them with mushrooms, beans, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Get a vegetarian/vegan cookbook or search online for plant-based recipes that contain ingredients you like.

Now you’re well on your way to a more healthful and sustainable life for yourself, for countless animals and for the world.
