"91% of the loss of rainforest in the Amazon area that has been destroyed is due to raising livestock." "The leading cause of environmental destruction is animal agriculture." LISTEN UP PEOPLE. If you eat meat, dairy, or eggs, you are NOT an environmentalist. I don’t care how much you claim to love the environment or how much you hate plastic or how you recycle or take short showers. I don’t care if you ride your bike everywhere, you compost, or if you are studying environmental studies or something in school. IF YOU EAT ANIMALS AND THEIR PRODUCTS, YOU ARE NOT AN ENVIRONMENTALIST. Cows alone produce more greenhouse gases than the ENTIRE transportation sector combined (cars, trucks, trains, boats, AND planes). The transportation sector causes 13% of greenhouse gases, and guess how much cows cause? 18%. Cows produce SO much methane, which is 25-100 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. We are literally killing the environment because people want to eat hamburgers and cheese and drink milk. What the fuck, how do people not realize how wrong this is? Also, the UN recently said that instead of the 18% of greenhouse emissions they previously thought livestock caused, it’s now 51%. Can everyone just take a moment and let that sink in? Over HALF of ALL greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the livestock sector. Eating animals is the number 1 cause of global warming and climate change, it uses 1/3 of ALL fresh water, occupies up to 45% of the earths land, is the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, and habitat destruction. I know many of you are going to be offended by this post, but I honestly don’t care. Ask yourself why you are offended? It’s because you know that what you are doing by eating animals and their products is wrong. It is SO easy to thrive off eating plants, and to continue to eat animals and their products is pure greed and selfishness. It’s 2014. Stop making excuses. Stop prioritizing your taste buds over the lives of animals and our planets health. Stop supporting the destruction of the earth. You are not an environmentalist if you eat meat. Watch #cowspiracy and go vegan, it’s the only thing that will save our earth. ✌️🌍🌱
