Another Inconvenient Truth. Even Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth did not mention that consuming meat and dairy is worse for the environment than all emissions from the automotive industry. 2006 UN Report warns - Rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases than driving cars. http://www.un.org/apps/

From www.woodstockFAS.org Many leading environmental organizations, including the National Audubon Society, the WorldWatch Institute, the Sierra Club, and the Union of Concerned Scientists, have recognized that raising animals for food damages the environment more than just about anything else th
at we do. Fortunately there is something you can do -- switch to a plant-based diet, or at the very least reduce your meat and dairy consumption. 1 Factory farms produce massive amounts of dust and other contamination that pollutes our air. A study in Texas found that animal feedlots in the state
produce more than 14 million pounds of particulate dust every year and that the dust 'contains biologically active organisms such as bacteria, mold, and fungi from the feces and the feed.' 2 According to the nonprofit group Greenpeace, all the wild animals and trees in more than 2.9 million acres
of rainforest were destroyed in the 2004-2005 crop season in order to grow crops that are used to feed chickens and other animals in factory farms. 3 According to a 2006 UN report, the livestock sector causes more greenhouse gases worldwide than the entire transportation sector. 4 Nitrous oxide is
about 300 times more potent as a global warming gas than carbon dioxide. According to the U.N., the meat, egg, and dairy industries account for a staggering 65 percent of worldwide nitrous oxide emissions. 5 According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the run-off from factory farms pollutes
our waterways more than all other industrial sources combined. The EPA reports that chicken, hog, and cattle excrement have polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and contaminated groundwater in 17 states. 6 It takes 16 pounds of grain and 2,500 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat. O
ne average meat eater could consume that pound of meat during a meal, while 16 people could have been fed on the grain it takes to produce that pound of meat. 7 The meat industry causes more water pollution in the US than all other industries combined because the animals raised for food produce 13
0 times more excrement than the entire human population--86,000 lbs per second. A typical pig factory farm generates a quantity of raw waste equal to that of a city of 12,000 people. 8 Every 2 seconds, a child starves to death somewhere in the world. Countries such as Ethiopia and some Central Ame
rican countries use their farmland to supply the United States with cheap burgers instead of growing healthful grain foods for their own starving people. 9 The livestock population of the US consumes enough grain and soybeans to feed more than 5 times its human population. 90% of all corn and 80
% of all grains and beans grown in the US are used to feed livestock animals. 10. 75 percent of U.S. topsoil has been lost to date, 85 percent of that loss is due to livestock rearing. Meat is murder on the environment A kilogram of beef is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions and other
pollution than driving for 3 hours while leaving all the lights on back home... http://www.evana.org/index.php?id=237... Captain Paul Watson: The meat industry is one of the most destructive ecological industries on the planet http://www.evana.org/index.php?id=237... Food first - Plant fuel euphor
