Reduce Animal Products

One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 0 meatless meals and/or 3 vegan meals each day this week.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Biodiversity + Wildlife Reduce Animal Products

How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

Where do I start? Industrial animal agriculture is the biggest driver of biodiversity loss, uses most of the earth's freshwater and a huge portion of it's arable land. It is a major contributor to climate change, air & water pollution, horrendous animal abuse, and contributes to antibiotic resistance. We can't meet our climate targets without addressing this sector, and the crowded, filthy conditions in which the animals are factory "farms" are kept are widely expected to spur the next global pandemic.

My passion is food systems - particularly promoting plant-based eating and reduction of food waste, which Project Drawdown notes are the two most powerful actions we can take to mitigate climate change. And industrial animal agriculture negatively impacts just about everything you can think of - environment, climate, human health, animal welfare.
