For the first time, I learned that animal husbandry is the main force that causes global warming and climate rise. It is more serious than the impact of carbon dioxide emitted by traffic and more pollution than fossil fuels. The power of methane emitted by cows burping and farting is carbon dioxide. Dozens of times. For example, a cow that feeds grass has to eat unimaginable grass, and the farms and land needed cannot satisfy people’s requirements for eating meat. It is not as good as industrialized cattle raising, where a cow needs to eat 140-150 pounds of feed every day. 30-40 gallons of water requires 20 tons of feed a week. Both the dairy and beef industries are unsustainable. It takes 1,000 gallons of water to make a gallon of milk. This is the first time I learned that animal husbandry needs to use beyond imagination. In order to raise dairy cows, reclaim forests, reduce the area of forests, desertification, and reduce material extinction, or cause the feed (soybeans and corn) needed for large-scale cultivation of dairy cows, which affects the cultivation of other crops. The slaughter of wolves and other species has caused species reduction. Industrialization and capital controllers, political and environmental protection organizations, silenced them. No matter how water and electricity are saved by ordinary people, environmental protection in our lives cannot make up for the harm caused by animal husbandry. Every day The vegan diet produces half the carbon dioxide of an omnivorous, saving 4164 liters of water, 20 kilograms of food, 2.8 square meters of forest, 4.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions equivalent and the life of an animal. Every day, what I feel after watching the movie But although it is impossible to avoid meat, you can eat less meat, the viewpoints of the documentary are not fully accepted, and you must have your own judgment.
