EARTH
1 person consuming beef creates 1,984 pounds of C02e annually.
1 person consuming plants creates 73 pounds of CO2e annually.
1 BILLION PEOPLE STARVE EACH DAY
HALF OF THE WORLD LIVES IN POVERTY
1/3 of ice-free land surface is devoted to growing livestock.
1/3 of the worldwide grain production is used to feed livestock.
50% of legumes are being fed to livestock, up to 90% of soy beans.
82% of starving children live in countries where food is fed to animals that are eaten in well developed countries.
22,000 children die each day due to poverty.
We could feed every human on the planet today if we did no more than take the land used to grow feed for animals and use it to grow crops for human consumption.
We can change this.
WATER
Do you know how much water your food needs in order to be produced?
CARBON FOOTPRINT
Farts, they're dangerous.
On average, cows release up to 120 kg of methane per year. Methane is a greenhouse gas like CO2. However, Methane is 23 times higher than the effect of CO2 to our climate! The release of 120 kg of methane per year is equivalent to about 2,500 kg CO2 per year. For that same amount of burning CO2, you could drive 13,99 km per year.
Agriculture is responsible for 18% of the total release of greenhouse gases world-wide.
This is MORE than the ENTIRE transportation sector!
