\u201cSo much methane is being emitted that life on Earth is collapsing! \u2028Know where most of it comes from?”<\/h2>\n

And you know why? Mostly just to create grazing land for us cows.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]So why does that bother me? More grass, more food for me right? Well, the more grass we cows eat, the more methane we emit thanks to what we call \u2018enteric fermentation\u2019, and so the more we unwillingly contribute to climate change.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]Unwillingly because we don\u2019t actually want to be a billion strong, that\u2019s far too many cows. Industrial animal agriculture on such a massive scale is killing the planet we both live on.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]And the planet will die unless you do something about it now. Not only is there too much methane, the forests you cut down so ruthlessly are one of the world\u2019s biggest trappers of CO2 gas. Roughly half the weight of a tree is carbon.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]In the absence of active reforestation efforts, CO2 is a long-lived greenhouse gas that lingers in the atmosphere for tens of thousands of years. No forests means more climate change.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]That means more human migration, poverty, conflict, hunger, and misery as areas of the world become uninhabitable, and all within the lifetime of your young people today.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Now I know you think you\u2019re doing your best already by choosing to use renewable energy and exhaust-free transportation as much as you can, and thank you, but frankly it\u2019s not enough. You need to stop eating animals, not just me but all animals.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]Making me into a meat machine! No thanks. And as for lab-grown meat? I\u2019m no scientist but how can that be a better solution than simply turning more land used for grazing cows into land for growing food for humans?[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#afca0b”][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

If grazing lands are restored to forests, all the CO2 from our fossil fuel emissions can be sucked up. <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
