Detailed explanation-1: -According to an Oxford University study, people who eat meat are responsible for almost twice as many dietary greenhouse-gas emissions per day as vegetarians and about 2.5 times as many emissions as vegans (vegetarians who also refrain from consuming eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived items).
Detailed explanation-2: -A Western standard meat-based diet produces about 7.2 kilograms of CO₂ equivalent per day, while a vegetarian diet produces 3.8 kg and a vegan diet 2.9 kg.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the case of vegans, their greenhouse gas emissions are on average 37% lower than those who eat meat frequently. As noted above, this is not only due to emissions associated with food, but also to a different type of lifestyle.
