What we choose to eat has a bigger impact on the planet than most of us realize. From soil to sea, our food system influences everything—climate change, water use, biodiversity, and even the future of farming.
This Earth Day, April 22, 2025, we’re inviting you to reflect on something simple but powerful: what’s on your plate. Just one swap—like choosing Shroomeats over meat—can lighten your footprint and nourish your body with feel-good flavor.
The Truth About Meat and the Planet
Industrial meat production is one of the leading contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and freshwater depletion. Here’s the reality:
-
Animal agriculture accounts for ~14.5% of global emissions
-
Producing just 1 lb of beef uses over 1,800 gallons of water
-
Factory farms often rely on monocrops like corn and soy, which degrade soil and ecosystems
While there's no one-size-fits-all approach to sustainable eating, reducing meat and choosing planet-friendly proteins is one of the most effective personal actions you can take for Earth.
