Carbon Brief has put together an informative, interactive look at the impact of eating meat and dairy on the climate.

Such as how much carbon is actually saved by taking up a vegan diet? Is it better to eat local? And do plant-based meat alternatives have a lower climate impact? Presenting complex data in this Q&A format helps put the issues into the context of our daily lives, hopefully helping to inform people how their food choices can impact our climate.
