Are you a fan of meatballs?

Did you know that a tiny change could help to cut emissions by a huge amount?

We've already talked about how scientists have found a way to reduce the impact of cows' noxious farts, but you can also make a change!

Swapping just one in 20 meatballs for a plant-based alternative could save eight million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year.

New research from Trinity College Dublin found swapping beef meatballs for vegetarian options could cut emissions by 90 percent.

It's part of an EU-wide study into the sustainability of popular foods.

John Carmody of the Animals Rights Action Network says the study should act as a wake-up call.
