A quote I just heard, and loved… maybe because it seems to define my life
Just some thoughts on vegetarianism:
A vegetarian world could be fed using just 5% of the earth's surface versus the 30% currently used for meat production
Livestock production accounts for 18% of climate change and 30% of the entire land surface of the planet. Feed crops are grown on a thurd of all arable farmland, and an even larger area is devoted to grazing - 26% of the ice-free land surface of the earth
The UN's food and agricultural organization states that, "Producing meat causes more environmental damage than all of the world's cars and trucks"
