Two researchers at the University of Chicago estimated that switching to a vegan diet would have a bigger impact than trading in your gas guzzler for a Prius. A study out of Carnegie Mellon University found that the average American would do less for the planet by switching to a totally local diet than by going vegetarian one day a week….A Montanan who drives 40 miles to work might not have the option to take public transportation. But he or she can probably pull off a veggie stew.
