It is estimated the 18% of greenhouse gases come from livestock
and it's production. Public Health experts suggest that reducing our daily intake of meat by 60%, will help reduce excess weight and obesity and result in benefits to individuals and society. Cutting out meat/the production of meat for just one day can have a truly large impact on our health and our Earth.
Why is this important?
Eating less meat can help minimize the ecological footprint of your food because stock breeding has a detrimental impact on the environment as well as improve our health, which is important given the obesity epidemic and global warming crisis we are in today. I propose that there should be a limit on Mondays of meat consumption, but mostly production in order to further ourselves as a whole. It's a small change that will in turn make a huge difference.
