Empowering Biodiversity through Food Choices

“While climate change is among the biggest challenges we need to address as a global society, it’s not the only one – we are also facing the sixth mass extinction in our planet’s history.1 And this time round, the extinction event is being caused by human activity. What we eat has a massive impact on biodiversity.”

If Meat Is Cruel, So Is Dairy... The Hidden Truth for Vegetarians

Many vegetarians adopt their diet out of a desire to reduce animal suffering, driven by a belief that animals shouldn not be killed for food. Ethical vegetarians recognize that animals have a right to live free from harm and exploitation, which makes the decision to avoid meat a natural extension of this belief. However, dairy is often overlooked. Because dairy cows aren’t killed for their milk right away, some believe that this makes dairy more acceptable. But when we look deeper, we find that dairy is built on the same exploitation and violence as the meat industry.

Food is Climate: A Response to Al Gore, Bill Gates, Paul Hawken, & The Conventional Narrative on Climate Change

The conventional narrative on climate change ignores the science, which is more accessible than you’d think. It comes down to common sense. Climate change is the result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. If all we do is slow down the rate at which the planet is heating, we are still cooked - we need to reverse atmospheric heating. Solar panels do not sequester carbon dioxide. Trees do. Sea plants do. We need to protect the oceans and to reforest as much of the world as we can. Listen to today’s episode written by Glen Merzer at MainStreetVegan.com
