Resistance to change:  People don’t respond to warnings by strangers, including scientists and governments. At times, leaders must make repeated calls for change, and sometimes they must use rules and penalties to force change. In many instances, the rules are deceptively designed to benefit for-profit corporations, but when the only discernable winners are the people and the Earth, leadership achieves its highest calling.

“The global demand for meat and animals products is wreaking havoc on our planet. Find out how going vegan helps the environment.”  From: www.peta.org.uk

GR:  Great graphics and discussion. According to the article, a vegan diet releases about one-third as much CO2 as a heavy meat diet. Moreover, to produce the same amount of protein, beef requires 32 times more land than soybeans. Unfortunately, the article relates the savings to the greater number of people that Earth could support on vegan diets rather than relating the savings to the greater amount of land that could be left for wildlife and ecosystems.

“Meat production is one of the main drivers of environmental degradation globally, and the crisis is rapidly growing worse.  That’s why the Center for Biological Diversity launched our Earth-friendly Diet campaign.”  More at:  www.takeextinctionoffyourplate.com

GR:  Without population control, and if we continue with our meat diet, the Earth will soon become a factory farm for feeding humans. Other species and their habitats will be gone.  Join the CBD effort to improve our diet.
