The fishing, meat, dairy, and egg industries aren’t just relentlessly cruel to animals - they’re also a nightmare for the environment. Raising animals for food requires massive amounts of land, food, energy, and water. The byproducts of animal agriculture pollute our air and waterways. The United Nations states that urgent and unprecedented changes - including a shift to a plant-based diet - is vital to limit the catastrophic damage that will be caused by climate change. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of ocean dead zones, species extinction, and habitat destruction - and by some estimates, it creates more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the world’s transportation systems combined. A study in the journal Nature found that greenhouse-gas emissions from animal agriculture would be reduced by half if the world turned to a mainly plant-based diet. Every person who goes vegan can shrink their carbon footprint by up to 73% and save up to 200 animals per year. I urge your organization to strengthen certification standards in the industry immediately, thank you!
