Vegans are vegans for many reasons, the environment is just one of them. Maybe Tofu is not as easy on the env as chicken, but on average a plant-based or completely vegan diet is way better than a meat/fish/milk/egg-based one.

Anecdote from Germany: Anti-Vegans or Meat-Conservatives always like to say "Yeah you vegans say your food is way better for the environment, but then you only eat avocados which need tons of water!!!" which is of course completely wrong (and the avocado water thing can be helped).
