In a world where we’re overwhelmed by choice — from whether to incorporate more plant-based alternatives into our diets to opting to eat-in or order-out — it can be hard to discern the impacts of our everyday decisions. If there was ever any doubt, a significant report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has confirmed that switching to a plant-based diet is indeed a meaningful way to help fight climate change. Still, it can be challenging to understand just how effective these efforts are without seeing them quantified. As the trend towards consuming more plant-based foods continues to gain momentum, for some, it can be difficult to know where to start and which brands to trust. But for those looking to make the switch, substituting milk is a great place to start. Oat and almond milk, like those made by Earth’s Own, lessen many of the environmental strains associated with dairy milk without compromising on taste or nutrients.
