Lverybody knows LhaL Lhe envlronmenL ls belng affecLed as a resulL of carbon emlsslons buL noL

many people know LhaL Lhere's a greenhouse gas 21 Llmes more poLenL Lhan carbon dloxlde and
LhaL gas ls meLhane MeLhane ls mosLly produced because of llvesLock producLlon
13 of global greenhouse gases are cause due Lo LransporL 1haL's why were encouraged Lo drlve
less So whaL abouL anlmal agrlculLure? lL Lurns ouL LhaL 18 of global greenhouse gas emlsslons
are caused as a resulL of llvesLock producLlon lf we compare Lhe percenLages we wlll see LhaL
llvesLock producLlon ls responslble for more greenhouse gases Lhan LransporL MosL of us have Lhe
wrong ldea LhaL LransporL ls Lhe largesL producer of greenhouse gases
1here's a very lnLeresLlng documenLary named MeaL Lhe LruLh" 1hls documenLary reveals Lhe
LruLh behlnd llvesLock l waLched Lhls documenLary one year ago aL Lhe beglnnlng l LhoughL LhaL lL
was golng Lo be [usL anoLher borlng documenLary buL Lhe LruLh ls LhaL lL was anyLhlng buL borlng
Cne of Lhe Lhlngs LhaL really shocked me was LhaL a slngle cow produces 300700 llLers of meLhane
a day Lhls means LhaL ln one year a cow produces Lhe same amounL of greenhouse gas as a
medlum slzed car Lravellng 70000 kllomeLers When we Lhlnk abouL llvesLock producLlon we don'L
usually Lhlnk how much kllograms of crops are requlred Lo produce Lhe meaL we consume buL Lhe
LruLh ls LhaL lL Lakes around 7kg of crops Lo produce only 1kg of meaL 1hls means LhaL anlmal
producLs requlre more Llmes Lhe amounL of land LhaL ls needed Lo produce Lhe same amounL of
vegeLables
Some people say LhaL Lhls problem wlll conLlnue because noL many people are wllllng Lo change
Lhelr food hablLs l Lhlnk LhaL Lhere are a loL of soluLlons LhaL can help Lo decrease Lhe damage Lhls
problem can cause eople can'L become veggle ln a couple of days LhaL's why l suggesL
dlmlnlshlng our consumpLlon of meaL Cne Lhlng Lo do abouL lL ls Lo sLop eaLlng meaL for only one
day per week lf we sLop eaLlng meaL for only one day we would save Lhe equlvalenL of 90 mllllon
LlckeLs from new ?ork Lo Los Angeles ln Lhe documenLary an experL explalns whaL would happen
lf we sLopped eaLlng meaL for more Lhan one day Lhe resulLs would be amazlng llLerally lf we sLop
eaLlng meaL we would solve several problems LhaL are affecLlng us nowadays for example Clobal
Warmlng
lf we conLlnue Lhls masslve consumpLlon of meaL ln Lhe nexL years maybe we won'L be able Lo
handle Lhe envlronmenLal problems so Lhe answer ls slmple less meaL means less anlmal
producLlon whlch means less greenhouse gases less waLer consumpLlon less deforesLaLlon and
less global warmlng
