Carbon Saved Calculator
Estimate the CO2, water, land, and animal lives spared by your plant-based meals over a week, month, or year. Based on Poore & Nemecek (Science, 2018).
Over 1 year, your 730 plant-based meals save:
That's equivalent to 4,171 km not driven in an average car. Based on Poore & Nemecek (Science, 2018).

Frequently asked
How do you calculate savings per meal?
We use a difference methodology: saved = average omnivore meal minus average plant-based meal. Each plant-based meal saves ~1.2 kg CO2, ~400 L water, ~8 m² land, and ~0.167 animal lives. Numbers come from Poore & Nemecek (Science, 2018) and the Water Footprint Network.
Is this accurate for my specific diet?
It's a population average, not a per-meal precision estimate. A tofu stir-fry and a vegan burger have very different footprints. For actual per-meal accuracy, log meals in the Nourii app — we track the footprint of each dish individually.
Why include 'animals spared' in the calculation?
On average, each person who eats meat consumes about 0.5 animals per day (including fish and small birds). So across 3 meals, a fully plant-based day spares about 0.5 animals — which means each plant-based meal spares ~0.167 animals on average.
Does the number reset if I go back to eating meat?
No — impact that's already been avoided is permanent. Each plant-based meal you've eaten is a meal of emissions that didn't happen. Nourii keeps a running lifetime total in-app.
