Can’t run out and buy a new hybrid car, can’t afford to install solar panels on the roof of your house or public transit just isn’t an option for you? Well there is something simple that each of us can do to help fight climate change and the answer just might surprise you. By cutting back on our consumption of animal based foods; meats, dairy and eggs we can greatly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Why is eating less meat so beneficial for the climate? Right now there are just too many cows, sheep and other livestock on the planet. Individually, they may seem harmless enough, but their numbers take a huge toll on the global environment. It is encouraging knowing that on the most powerful solutions of all is also the simplest and its right under our noses, on our plates.
