In the U.S, each household produces 48 tons of greenhouse gases each year. The three biggest contributors to this are transport, housing, and food. Food is about 17% of that total, and it is the easiest thing to cut down on. Worldwide, it is estimated that livestock agriculture produces around 50% of man-made emissions. Changing the foods you eat can greatly impact your carbon emissions, and these are the best foods to do so:
- Lentils (0.9 CO2 kilos per kilo)
- Fruit (1.1 CO2 kilos per kilo)
- Vegetables (2.0 CO2 kilos per kilo)

One of the worst foods to reduce carbon emissions is beef. One kilogram of beef is equivalent to driving 63 miles. Even worse is a kilo of lamb, which is the equivalent to driving 93 miles. Overall, becoming vegetarian reduces food emissions by half, which will improve the environment tremendously, as well as make animals happy.

I agree with this, a lot of the reason why peoples carbon footprints are so high is because they eat a lot of meat. The average person eats 17 ounces of meat per week. Also by choosing a vegetarian diet instead of one loaded with animal products, individuals can dramatically reduce the amount of land, water, and oil resources that they consume and the amount of pollution they otherwise might cause. When you eat more greens, it with end up being healthier for you  and overall just make planet earth better.
