🌎The toll protein sources take on the planet is often overlooked. But the good news is high protein doesn't have to come at a high climate cost. 🫘For example, beans, lentils, soy, nuts, and seeds are not only great sources of protein but also typically more affordable: go.wri.org/plant-protei...

A graphic showing the impact of protein on the planet. The impact is measured with greenhouse gas emissions per gram of protein. The graphic shows that lamb, goat, and beef have the highest emissions, while wheat, corn, beans, chickpeas, and lentils have the least.
