Which milk should you buy? (Almond, Rice or Oat?)

In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I take a look at three plant-based non-dairy milks in order to see which one is the most environmentally friendly. Specifically, I look at how Almond milk, Rice milk, and Oat milk affect the environment in a number of different ways through water use and emissions. I ultimately find that almond milk uses the most water, rice milk has the most emissions associated with it, and oat milk is the best for the environment overall.
