Tofu

Avoid tofu if you can or any soy-based product if you can. The environmental impact of soybean production is fairly negative. You can get your protein from lentils, nuts, seeds, and grains. If you're ovo-lacto vegetarian, then you should be able to get plenty of protein from dairy and eggs.

the environmental impact of dairy and eggs far exceeds that of soy..js

Yeah, no. Not even close. Soy monocultures are destroying rain forests right now and killing quite a few animals (many of which are endangered), which seems to contradict a lot of the reasoning behind veganism and vegetarianism. Raising cows for dairy is also far less wasteful than raising them for meat. However, it should be stated that the vast majority of soybean production goes to animal feed. Still, contributing to it by consuming soy-based protein is unnecessary.

I don't think you're getting it. The bulk of soy grown isn't even for humane consumption, it's to feed "food animals" and pets. If you eat any animal or anything from one you're contributing to your little soy destroying conspiracy so I hope you're a soy-free vegan if you still want to talk about this.
