Attention everyone who wants to rail on me when i explain why im vegan talk to the facts cause the Angie is not listening 18-51% of green house emissions are caused by animal agriculture (transportation is only 13%) that means if the whole world stopped driving flying and boating wed still be killing out planet It takes about 15,500 litres of water to produce 1 kilogram of beef, compared with just 1,000 litres to produce 1 kilogram of wheat. Agriculture, particularly meat and dairy products, accounts for 70% of global freshwater consumption additionally 80% of Californias drinking water goes to animal agriculture but sure not watering your lawn is putting a real dent in the drought problem industrialized livestock contributes to roughly 75% of deforestation (to give animals grazing grounds and grow soybeans used in feedstock). you wanna save the forests well here you go In 2012, there were roughly 70bn animals raised as livestock for 7.1bn people. As the global population surges towards a predicted 9.1 billion people by 2050, western tastes for diets rich in meat and dairy products are unsustainable. Last year the UNs Food and Agriculture Organisation said that food production would have to increase globally by 70% by 2050 to feed the worlds surging population. the solution to all this? go vegan plain and simple. if looking at all the facts and making an informed decision about what i can do to help save the planet makes me militant then so be it but i take solace in knowing that we vegans are on the right side of history. were running out of space, resources and this planet is running out of patience for us. theguardian/environment/2010/jun/02/un-report-meat-free-diet theguardian/commentisfree/2014/aug/04/climate-change-impact-vegetarian huffingtonpost.co.uk/mimi-bekhechi/7-billion-population-the-imperative-to-go-vegan_b_1035234.html
