Eh, I know this is going to be controversial but a lot of alternative "milks" are probably overall more destructive to the environment than traditional pasteurised milk.
Almonds require a absolute shit load of water to grow, while soy can only really be grown in an extremely limited number of environments and also faces the same problem Almonds face.
This is not controversial at all, there are many studies that find any plant milk is better for the environment in across many relevant metrics (in particular, dairy will always use more land and water).

What exactly do you think cows on farms eat? It ain't grass for the most part. They eat far more soy than the calories produced. Any issues with soy are multiplied 10x for diary and meat
This is going to be controversial but 2+2=5
Taking water requirements alone, iirc a single gallon of cow milk requires 100+ gallons of water. I don't have access to my vegan inforgraphics rn.
Carnism is completely wasteful and anti-materialist.
