El estadounidense comun que come un 35 por ciento menos carne de lo que come ahora, reduciría sus emisiones en un por ciento. Convertirse totalmente vegetariano reduciría las emisiones en un 2.9 por ciento.

The average American who eats 35 percent less meat than she does now would reduce her emissions by one percent. Going totally vegetarian would cut them by 2.9 percent.
