Our Impact
We have spent the last few exhilarating web pages establishing that cow butter really is a bit weird. However, if you did need another reason to switch to an alternative to butter, Flora Plant has at least 72% less climate impact than dairy butter in the UK*.Which means that if you bought a kg of Flora Plant, not necessarily in one go, you would save at least 13.1kg of carbon emissions.
Or to put that in understandable terms, you’re saving the same amount of carbon it would take to charge your smartphone overnight for 59 months.
Still not clear? Okay how's this: if a household of 4 switched from cow butter to Flora Plant for a year, you would save the same amount of carbon emissions as boiling the kettle 4736 times. There you go, until you put it into simple kettle terms, it's just a bunch of meaningless statistics really, isn’t it?
