Climate benefits:
According to research from 2018, a turkey Christmas dinner in the United Kingdom has double the greenhouse gas emissions of a vegan nut roast. The research was conducted by the Humane Society International UK and a Harvard University research fellow.
The traditional Christmas dinner of a turkey roast, meat stuffing, meat gravy, roast potatoes in goose fat and pigs in blankets emits 23.5kg of carbon dioxide. This is the same amount as driving 78.5 miles in a standard UK car. Alternatively, the same vegan Christmas dinner, including a nut roast, roast potatoes in vegetable oil, vegan pigs in blankets, vegetarian stuffing and gravy emits 9.5kg of equivalent carbon dioxide. This is about 31 miles of driving.
85% of the United Kingdom choosing a plant-based Christmas meal would save 131 million kg of carbon dioxide emissions. Dr. Helen Harwatt, the contributing fellow to the study, urgedconsumers to reduce their consumption of meat in order to hit proposed emissions reductions goals. The harmful effects of conventional animal agriculture on the environment are well documented. The beef industry contributes to water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation.
Did you know that 40% of UK households this year are skipping the turkey?
