SAVE THE PLANET - CHANGE YOUR DIET

 

According to UN's report, the meat industry is the main producer of

greenhouse gas emissions: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and

ammoniac. Besides, the FAO ensures that ranching is " the major driver

of deforestation worldwide " and overgrazing is turning a fifth of all

pastures and ranges into desert. Pesticides, antibiotics and hormones
