Each day, a person who eats a #vegan diet saves 1,100 gallons of water, 45 pounds of grain, 30 sq ft of forested land, 20 lbs CO2 equivalent, and one animal’s life. #TakeAction

Lots of people wanting to read up on these facts and that is awesome. So here is a bunch of sources if you would like to dive in.
