ANIMAL AGRICULTURE is the BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR to CLIMATE CHANGE!
51% of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture. It is a fact that we can no longer ignore.
By sticking to a diet that consists of animal products, humans are contributing directly to putting our planet in crisis. Plus it’s extremely cruel and the end products are a major cause of our declining health.
Over 70 billion animals are slaughtered each year to keep up with the demand for meat. The biggest demand is in rich, mostly Western countries where people can afford to pay for the high prices of the bodies of these tortured animals.
Reducing or replacing animal products in our meals is not the only the most profound way to practice environmentalism – it’s easy, it’s healthy, and it doesn’t cost an extra cent.
We hope that you’ll find our website stimulating, motivating and empowering. And that you’ll be able to encourage others to make the link between animal agriculture and climate change more obvious.
