It is great that you are raising awareness. A plant-based diet is definitely more environmentally friendly. Just think about it: we are producing billions of tons of soy, corn and grains just to feed the animals. We have to use so much more water (and in many countries water is limited) just to produce these enormous amounts of food that humans CAN eat but don't want to. If animal-based food products were less popular, we could save so much energy, water and consequently also reduce the CO2 emissions.
