Of course I can't tell you to go vegetarian, or even vegan: that's your choice. If you do that's amazing, but if you feel like you can't do that now, try to reduce your animal product consumption. Every little bit makes a difference. Try meatless Mondays. Try to avoid meat for two out of three meals a day on the other days, and when you have meat order or prepare smaller portions -- don't throw away the extra, wasting doesn't help anybody. Keep leftovers, and don't let them go to waste in your fridge, but make reminders to eat them. Even reducing waste makes a difference, particularly with animal products. And don't forget to replace the animal products you reduce your consumption of using healthy plant proteins. Reducing total protein intake will just make you hungry, but plant proteins can be very satisfying. Look to beans and nuts and seeds for healthy plant proteins and fats.
