James Cameron would be planning a global campaign with wife Suzy Amis Cameron in order to recommend people to include more plant-based foods in their diet rather than animals or animal products.

According to The Guardian, the couple suggested that if implemented on a global scale, the diet would dramatically cut carbon emissions and improve overall health, the Washington Times reported.

Ms. Cameron said that right now they were at the genesis of creating the project and collecting the science behind it so they were both steeped in the research and the data.

She further added that one simple thing that everyone can do was to reduce or eliminate the consumption of animal products because all of the biodiversity being lost just to either grow grain to feed the animals or for grazing and about a pound of meat equals one acre of the rainforest.

The couple reportedly cut meat and dairy from their diet overnight over two years ago for health reasons.
