What a year of San Juan Capistrano’s menus is worth
An estimate. 27 restaurants here serve a vegan main, and 12% of the mains on their menus are ones a vegan can order, so about 558 vegan meals a day are ordered in place of a meat meal.
about 1,300,000 lbs of CO₂e kept out of the air
about 74,000,000 gallons of water saved
about 2,000,000 sq ft of forest spared
about 67,000 animals spared
about 200,000 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.
