Mission Viejo

What a year of Mission Viejo’s menus is worth

An estimate. 40 restaurants here serve a vegan main, and 12% of the mains on their menus are ones a vegan can order, so about 784 vegan meals a day are ordered in place of a meat meal.

about 1,900,000 lbs of CO₂e kept out of the air

about 100,000,000 gallons of water saved

about 2,800,000 sq ft of forest spared

about 95,000 animals spared

about 280,000 plant-based meals

the average city we cover. Per-day figures from Cowspiracy and The Vegan Calculator, the same ones your profile uses. Restaurant covers from Technomic; the share of vegan dishes actually ordered from Garnett et al., PNAS 2019. Menus say what a city offers, not what was ordered.
