A growing number of people are interested in switching to plant-based alternatives to dairy. But are they better for the environment, and which is best?
very interesting fact of the day 1 ... as always 😁
BUT this time I want to weigh in^^ ... because looking at gas emissions is only one important aspect. Please also look at these different types of ~milk when it comes to how much water each of them needs in the "production" to have 1L of it at the end... because I guess then almond milk is one of the worse alternatives 😥😖
Ouch, this is tough, indeed. As far as I understand, and this doesn't lower the impact of growing almond in CA, all these almonds are not meant to become almond milk.

I drink only almond milk.
The beauty of math is that one can show the numbers the way one likes :(
Make this table by water waste and I bet almond will be the first!
First? Do you mean second after cow milk?
Really bad for us here at CA, our water is really expensive because of it:

I don't buy into this. Almond so low??
