What a year of East Los Angeles’s menus is worth
An estimate. 10 restaurants here serve a vegan main, and 28% of the mains on their menus are ones a vegan can order, so about 476 vegan meals a day are ordered in place of a meat meal.
about 1,100,000 lbs of CO₂e kept out of the air
about 63,000,000 gallons of water saved
about 1,700,000 sq ft of forest spared
about 57,000 animals spared
about 170,000 plant-based meals
