Greenhouse gas emissions
According to a World Watch Study, which took into account factors such as livestock respiration, methane production and land use animal agriculture is responsible for 51% global greenhouse gas emissions.
To put this in prospective, all of worlds transportation is responsible for only 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
So CLEARLY the way to impact the environment is with our DIET, not with our cars.
And taking meat out of your diet is pretty easy SINCE WE DON'T NEED IT, but we need things like cars and electricity.
But Global Warming Is Just A Myth RIGHT?
"If we don't see it directly it wont hurt us."
Well of course it will, and it is affecting us more that we would like to think.

Carbon footprint of food
As we can see from this research, the foods that have the highest carbon footprint are animal products.
So what can we do about it ?
Well we can adopt a Vegan Diet, which is what are bodies are designed to eat in the first place and think about what kind of consequences our food choices have.
You don't have to eat meat, eggs and dairy just because everybody around you does and you are too afraid to be different. You can be the one that leads others by example and be the change you want to see in the world. Everybody can.
