Cleans soil

Each year many regions with fauna get damaged due to deforestation for water pollution and damaged and weak soil. But raising different species of plants can nourish the soil and make it stronger. 

Less energy consumption

It requires a lot of energy to raise animals. A huge portion of plant-based foods is cultivated to feed them. The meat products are also needed to be stored, refrigerated and shipped properly. On the other hand, plant-based foods can be raised with less energy.

Plants purify the air making the environment a better place to live. So, the more plants will be there the better it’s for nature.
