New Zealand's Vegan Society urges dairy-free eating in February to cut food emissions, promoting plant-based alternatives and criticizing U.S. dairy recommendations.
The Vegan Society of Aotearoa New Zealand is promoting Dairy-Free February, a campaign encouraging New Zealanders to cut dairy to reduce food-related carbon emissions by up to 50%.
The society says eliminating dairy can lower an individual’s annual food emissions from 871kg to 439kg, based on modeling using the Harvard FoodPrint Calculator.
The initiative, now in its sixth year, promotes plant-based alternatives like beans and legumes and coincides with the launch of the public-voted NZ Dairy-Free Awards, with voting closing February 20.
The group criticizes the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for emphasizing dairy, arguing it misleads on health and environmental impacts.
