One Thing, Every Day
Imagine you could make one change in your daily life to improve your health, alleviate climate change, safeguard ecosystems, protect animals and help solve world hunger. Turns out, you can. It’s called a plant-based diet.*
Avoiding meat and dairy is shown to be the single most effective way to reduce your impact on Earth.4



Reduce Your Foodprint
According to scientific studies, Califia Plantmilks can dramatically reduce your environmental “foodprint” when compared to cow’s milk. In fact, swapping a pint of cow’s milk for Califia saves a pound of carbon from going into the earth’s atmosphere!**

*According to Menus for Change, a partnership between The Culinary Institute of America and Harvard College, a plant-based or "plant-forward" diet emphasizes fruits and vegetables (produce); whole grains; beans, other legumes (pulses), nuts and seeds; plant oils; and herbs and spices with minimal or no meat and dairy products.
