Vegan Footprint Calculator

Compare the environmental savings of a plant-based diet.

CO2 saved (kg/yr) 1,460

Water saved (L/yr) 1,460,000

Land saved (m2/yr) 4,380

Formula: Per day: ~4 kg CO2, 4000 L water, 12 m2 land

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Days per week eating vegan = 7

4. CO2 saved = 1,460kg/yr

5. Water saved = 1,460,000L/yr

6. Land saved = 4,380m2/yr

Did we solve your problem today?

Eating fully plant-based slashes your dietary footprint across CO2, water and land.

The math behind it

Compared with the average Western diet, a vegan day saves roughly 4 kg CO2, 4000 L water and 12 m^2 of land.

Eating vegan all week (~365 days) saves about 1460 kg CO2/year.

Even one day makes a difference?

Yes — Meatless Monday alone cuts your weekly food footprint by about 15%.
