PB&J

Via Ezra (who’s always so earnest), here are startling numbers about the climate-change impact of a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich for lunch instead of “something based on meat:”

Each time you have a plant-based lunch like a PB&J you’ll reduce your carbon footprint by the equivalent of 2.5 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions over an average animal-based lunch like a hamburger, a tuna sandwich, grilled cheese, or chicken nuggets. For dinner you save 2.8 pounds and for breakfast 2.0 pounds of emissions.
