If everyone ate meatless for just one day, the USA would save:

Statistics were calculated from reports by Noam Mohr, a physicist with the New York University Polytechnic Institute.
If everyone ate meatless for just one day, the USA would save:
100,000,000,000 gallons
Water. Enough to supply all the homes in New England for almost 4 months
150,000,000,000 lbs
Crops for livestock. Enough to feed New Mexico for about a year
70,000,000 gallons
Gas. Enough to fuel all the cars of Canada and Mexico combined
3,000,000 acres
Land not bulldozed for livestock and their feed
Now imagine if that one day was magnified to half the year!
