Environmental Impact of Milk Alternatives

The video explores the environmental impact of various milk alternatives compared to dairy milk. It highlights that dairy production emits significant greenhouse gases, with dairy cows being more polluting than beef cows. Almond milk, while water-intensive, uses less water than dairy. Soy milk production involves harmful pesticides, but can be less toxic if pesticides are reduced. Oat milk requires more land but still less than dairy. Overall, researchers rank cow, almond, soy, and oat milk from worst to best environmentally.
