The countries that eat the most meat are causing the most damage to the planet. It’s time to take responsibility and change the habits of a lifetime.
There is very little to debate on the subject anymore. Simply put, the world must reduce the amount of meat it eats. In 2011, the world population reached seven billion and it’s now around 7.7 billion. That figure is expected to reach 10 billion around 2050. As the global population continues to skyrocket, the planet simply cannot sustain its current levels of meat production.
The use of land for growing food and forestry accounts for about a quarter of all global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s roughly the same as from electricity and heating, and substantially more than from all the trains, planes and automobiles on the planet.
