Factory Farming is One of the Biggest Threats to the Future of Our Planet
It’s simultaneously heating our atmosphere, polluting our oceans, draining our fresh water supply, and destroying wildlife habitats.
If we’re going to pull the planet back from the brink of disaster, we need to do more…and it starts with less. Less or no meat, eggs, and dairy on your plate means more progress for animals, people, and the planet— and more room for delicious plant-based foods.
- Raising animals for food produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all the cars, planes and other forms of transportation combined.
- The world’s top five meat and dairy companies are already responsible for more emissions than ExxonMobil, Shell or BP.
- Hog, chicken and cattle waste has polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and contaminated groundwater in 17 states.
- Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation worldwide.
BUT DID YOU KNOW…?
You can change the world, just by eating plants for a change:
- Ditching animal products could reduce your carbon footprint by up to 73%.
- If everyone went vegan, global land use could be reduced by 75 percent.
- If every American replaced one chicken meal a week with a vegan meal, it would be like taking 500,000 cars off the road!
