Environmental Impacts of Veganism

hiya my loves!

I've been vegan for quite a while now - after being vegetarian my whole life I finally realised how much being vegan minimalises your carbon footprint; and how important it is to consider veganism in your day to day life.

Today however, I'll simply be discussing the environmental impacts of veganism.

To start with, raising cattle in the dairy and meat industry causes 53% of CO2 emissions, with only 13% coming from ALL transports. that's all cars, trucks, lorries, boats, and planes combined.

This is because cattle produce methane, and methane creates CO2. Because of the amount of cattle being produced - it's now the leading cause of CO2 emissions.

secondly, each day someone decides to go vegan, they save all this:

1100 gallons of water

45lbs of grain

30 sq.ft of forest

20lbs of CO2

1 animals life

if all transportation, oil, gas and all fossil fuels were stopped being used this second, we would still rise 2 c (all we need to rise before severe flooding, famine and even a climate war) by the year 2030. This is simply because of the meat and dairy industry.

did you know:

1 single burger uses enough water to supply you with 2 months worth of showers

domestic use of fossil fuels only contributes by 5% of CO2 emissions, whereas 55% comes from animal agricultural

when humans first walked the earth, free living animals earned 99% of the biomass and humans only 1%. 10,000 years later (only a fraction of time) humans, and the animals we own as property, own 98% of the biomass - only leaving free living animals 2% of this earth. We have literally robbed the earth and it's resources from animals here before us - for pure human greed.

In my opinion, the no.1 best way to save the environment and reduce global warming is by going vegan

well, that's my opinion said. How about you? What's your opinion on veganism and how do you think is the best way to reduce global is?
