Is it Green to Eat Meat?

November 1st is World Vegan Day. Vegans everywhere will be celebrating from Sat 27 Oct to Sun 4 Nov 2007 - see our WVD Events Page. Livestock produce more greenhouse gases than transport! Are you Eating the Earth?

Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.

You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat. So eating meat adds to water shortages, forest clearing, soil damage, use of oil-based pesticides - and climate change.

"By 2050 the world's livestock will be consuming as much as 4 billion people do... when many were doubting whether such human numbers could be fed at all."
