A professor and air quality specialist says consumers can’t eat their way out of climate change.
Frank Mitloehner, with the University of California-Davis, says science shows that if an omnivore decided to go vegan for one year, it would reduce that persons’ carbon footprint by just 0.8 metric tons of greenhouse gases.
“In contrast, one single transatlantic flight per passenger would be 1.6 metric tons of greenhouse gases,” he says.
