The recent IPCC report tells us that time is running out to prevent catastrophic global warming. We need to rapidly slash our emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But the report also offers hope. We can rise to the challenge. Going vegan is one of the most powerful ways to do it.
Fully plant-based diets are the most efficient and, thus, the most sustainable – by tremendous margins. We can all make changes today to move in the right direction.
In the early days, Farm Sanctuary was a shoestring operation. Gene and Lorri funded it by selling tofu hot dogs at Grateful Dead concerts. Over the years, it has grown tremendously.
The United States is losing soil 10 times faster than it can be replenished; the rate of soil loss in China and India is over three times that. Pimentel reports that over just the last four decades of the 20th century, some 30% of the world’s arable land became unproductive. Half of the topsoil in the breadbasket of North America has been lost since 1900.

"Producing 100 grams of protein from tofu was associated with around 0.61 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions. For beef, that figure was 64.19 kilograms.
