How much plastic is used in the raising of a cow? In either case the full lifecycle needs to be considered.

But TBH veganism isn't necessarily an environmental movement. There's often overlap, but nothing about being ethically opposed to farming and killing animals means one is more environmentally conscious.

True. Veganism is not an environmental movement, however, not eating animals is a huge environmental improvement.
