Can reducing your consumption of meat really help save the world?

Reducing carbon emissions can be carried out on all levels. This could range from governments implementing new legislature attempting to curb emissions, state agencies adopting new programs and localities implementing energy efficient regulations on future projects. But have you considered the individual level plays just as an important role in the fight verse climate change? Have you thought about changing your diet to help reduce carbon emissions significantly? Not only will it reduce carbon emissions but also it will lead you toward a healthier lifestyle if you decide to replace meat with fruits and vegetables. According to a report published by The Guardian “The global livestock industry produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all cars, planes, trains and ships combined, but a worldwide survey by Ipsos MORI in the report finds twice as many people think transport is the bigger contributor to global warming”. The main point here is that the demand for meat needs to be reduced to decrease production and the livestock industries impact on the climate. By just changing a few meals a week to include more fruits, vegetables and purchasing from sustainable farms can help in the fight verse climate change.
