  • Well, you can use less electricity or stop driving.

  • But scientists believe there's another behavior which has an even bigger impact on the planet,

  • We're talking about meat here.

  • If people cut out meat and animal products from their diets,

  • That's according to research from Oxford University.

  • Now, emissions are the gases produced by an activity or living thing,

  • so we could talk about factory emissions or farming emissions.

  • And if you eat no meat or animal products, you're what we call vegan.

  • More and more people around the world are going vegan.
