THIS Is How MEAT Is Destroying The AMAZON | LIVEKINDLY

[@LIVEKINDLY]

Will you ditch meat to help save the Amazon rainforest? What other sustainable efforts do you make to leave a positive impact on the environment?

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Already don't eat any animal foods.

[@SpaceAdmiral792t]

Already don't eat any animal products

[@kineticmeow9242]

I’m vegan and hope more people go vegan to save the rainforest.

[@michelelaurdes8515]

Eating food close to you produced locally will have the biggest impact on our environment. Unfortunately, vegans eat a lot imported food from all over the world

[@meganhardy6983]

I sure did! 5 weeks ago

[@AskBobnFran]

Great video! We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. Getting older does have to mean getting sicker. We still strive for a strong body, a calm mind, & a positive outlook. Plant-based for years. Thanks!

[@Johny40Se7en]

What a lovely point of view. Nice one buddy 😉😊

[@Keanu_MrPickles]

One vegan meal a day is a great start and easier than you think!

[@TrinityGrowthYouTube]

That's true! I made the change years ago and it wasn't hard at all.

[@ImDemonWolf]

Not good enough. Eliminate meat consumption and substitute with vegan meat alternatives.

[@byronmurphy1977]

Awesome job Mona, it all helps, tell your friends and you can bring more change than any singular vegan ever could, any help/advice, feel free to ask.

[@80slimshadys]

Great way to become deficient and diseased.

[@80slimshadys]

@@byronmurphy1977 the United Nations 2019 IPCC report states that a vegan diet is the most impactful thing anyone can do for the climate. They have a graph that shows each diet and its effectiveness at mitigating environmental destruction and pollution and the vegan diet comes out on top by miles. This report is made up of 6000 studies. You are full of shit

[@walterbyrd8380]

This is just awful. Glad to be vegan for the last 6+ years, wish I had done it earlier. 150 years ago, US killed off the bison (all but 27) this ruined the live of indigenous people. In all that time, we have learned so little.

[@TrinityGrowthYouTube]

Hopefully with videos like this people become aware of what's happening and that we do have an impact on this world with our food choice, if we want it or not.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Yeah, but now all the vile truths are being exposed aren't they. Like these👇 Pigs - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJq4Y6SubceMo8U Cows - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5SxaIZ9fNR2hKs Chickens - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWXVdYGIjNunf5Y Fish - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5e9Zal5rZijfJY

[@sherrymaki25]

Great video! We should support indigenous people who are the leading guardians and protectors of the environment, often risking their lives to do so.

[@larsbjerke8596]

Vegan for 4 years. Try to influence people around me.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Nice one. Just ask them would they watch a video or two, like these👇 Pigs - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJq4Y6SubceMo8U Cows - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5SxaIZ9fNR2hKs Chickens - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWXVdYGIjNunf5Y Fish - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5e9Zal5rZijfJY

Johny40Se7en the animal ethics videos rarely work

Another quality production

Amazon burns every year this season. It is cyclical during the dry season and no one can stop it. After that, everything goes green again.

[@HealingLifeKwikly]

THAT is not what is happening. Over 70% of the deforestation in the Amazon in recent decades has been ranchers intentionally destroying swaths of forest (chopping or burning it down) to make room to graze cattle or grow soy to feed to the cattle. The research is very clear on that--beef consumption is the main driver of the deforestation of the Amazon. This trend has gotten much worse because of the anti-forest policies of Brazil's current president.

[@rosemarygimenez6445]

That’s true! The biggest problem we have are the fake news about what really happens there because of the bad Brazilian politicians and the corrupted news. They want the whole world to believe that our current government doesn’t care about the Amazônia, which is totally the opposite. There are 22 forests inside the Amazônia, and the Brazilian Army is actually there protecting the land and putting in jail the ones that are purposely putting fire. And yes, there is the dry season as well, but as you said, everything goes green again! And don’t forget that there are tons of people and countries interested in Amazonia’s minerals, soil, land, etc!!!

[@rosemarygimenez6445]

You’re totally wrong Karl Wheatley!!! We’re Brazilians know exactly what is happening there! Plan a trip to the Amazônia to see with your very eyes 👀 and stop spreading fake news!!!

[@HealingLifeKwikly]

@@rosemarygimenez6445 Thanks for your reply. Sorry, but you are being duped by your own government. We have satellites flying over the Amazon showing the record rates at which the Amazon is being destroyed and lots of reporters and researchers have studied how rapidly it is being destroyed. The rate of deforestation was slowing for awhile several years back, but has really skyrocketed under Bolsonaro--who wants to "develop" the Amazon. The only problem is that to Mother Nature, "development" means more destruction and death. By the way, one of my students was there in the rainforest recently. Stayed in a beautiful lush area then got to witness some of the devastation firsthand. She said it was the most heartbreaking thing she ever saw. Take care.

[@rosemarygimenez6445]

Karl Wheatley I can only say that the truth will prevail, and great things has started to happen in Brazil since Bolsonaro won the election. There’s a lot of corruption in the country associated with the so called “socialism”, and we will not become like Venezuela, Cuba or Argentina. Hopefully, the entire world will be free of the communists dictators, and all nations can live in peace. Until there, we Brazilians will keep fighting for what’s is ours! I don’t see organizations, artists, or Americans so much involved with the wild fires that happens in California every year! Why???

[@maverick5989]

Let us also include the dole mistreatment of Laborers, environmental poisoning, water drought in almond plantation, avocado cartels in Mexico, genocide and toppling of government by United fruit company in Honduras, exploitation of labor for decades, child labor in cocoa plantation, pesticide rivers and banana massacre etc.

[@meganhardy6983]

I went vegan 5 weeks ago. It hasn't been as hard as I thought. I love lightlife and Follow Your Heart brands. Also losing about a lb or two a week. It's been worth it. They think I may have lupus so I'm also doing it for health reasons. But if we can't save our world what good is it to have health under control??? We have to start thinking of ourselves, animals and our planet ❤️ we have a beautiful Earth 🌎

[@meganhardy6983]

@Grainne Ni Malley thank you! I will def check that out 👍

[@WS1968]

I love answers like your's, because a philosophical sight goes on 💗💞💖💝🎼🌻🌅🌄

[@miranapandora6160]

So sad that something can be certified "sustainable" when it replaced rainforest... lol

[@samwingender]

Going vegan is the easiest thing I've ever done in my entire life. Also, check out Earthlings on KZbin.

[@mariaangelova8275]

#vegan and whole food plants for life!!! 🙌👍💚🌱✌️☀️

[@WS1968]

I am living since seven years vegan. Almost of ethical background knowledge.

[@kathryntate6809]

I got rid of meat eating years ago for the sake of our brethren animals.

[@gothorumlupus9637]

And yet some species get torn apart by other animals, congratulations on doing absolutely nothing

[@susanhanstock6879]

Vegetables are also grown in fields. Cabbage, cauliflower, peas.

[@HealingLifeKwikly]

Yes, but more than 70% of the destruction of the Amazon has been to produce beef, and it's more like 80% in recent years. Meat-heavy diets are destroying the Amazon.

[@marilyncovarrubias4101]

Next time you are at the market ,look at a can (the square one ) of corned beef ,read the small print it will say (Inspected by Brazilian Government) They were from Argentina before.....

[@gibruni4262]

Report help, thanks . 🐛🦋🌾🌻🌎🌱 Please, do not suppot this tragedy .

[@michelelaurdes8515]

Veganism plus meat production like this destroy our environment and health. Eat meat, eggs, dairy, fruit and veg produced locally

[@Pearlsena]

This is basically emphasizing what the regenerative agriculture is saying. All those plant based burger are made from soy and the fact Brazil has refused to practice regenerative agriculture is the problem

[@HealingLifeKwikly]

No, that's not how that math works--and the problem here isn't regenerative agriculture as much as it is simply meat consumption. Eating plant foods (soyburgers whatever) is vastly more efficient in terms of land use than is eating meat. How much more efficient? It takes SIXTY times as much land to raise 100 grams of protein from beef as from peas. An omnivorous diet uses FIVE TIMES as much land as an isocaloric vegan one does. So even if they were practicing regenerative farming, there simply isn't enough land on Earth for everyone to eat as much meat as Americans do. And because westerners eat so much meat, rainforests had to be chopped down to make more land for grazing and soya to feed to the cattle. The main solution is people must eat less meat (especially beef, goat, and lamb) or eat lab-grown meat. Global meat consumption must decline dramatically or we cannot heal Earth's ecosystems or win in our fight against global warming. Take care.

[@RockieC1]

If more people could have will power. If people could realize animals have friends and families and feelings like us. Stop eating meat, it doesn’t make you less human. What are you afraid of?

[@Wearephuct-O]

4:25 Hopi Indians are protecting Brazil's rain forests?

[@forthelifeofus-carnivorous2028]

Did you all miss the part about Soy plantations on the Amazon lands?

[@HealingLifeKwikly]

The soy is mainly to feed cattle: Over 70% of the deforestation of the Amazon was caused by ranchers--to create new land to graze cattle or grow soya to feed their cattle. The research is very clear on that, and in recent years, 80% of the deforestation was driven by demand for beef. To save the Amazon, global beef consumption must drop sharply. End of story.

If you were stranded in nature and had to choose from eating an animal or yourself Im pretty sure most people would have chosen the animal. Well at the moment vegans are choosing to eat themselves (their own bodyfat) over animals. Crazy times

[@lorah3005]

Sigh... 👍
