Dear Sir,
A recent authoritative report published by the World Watch institute,
authors Goodland and Anhang concluded that over 51% of greenhouse
gases (GHGs) emissions come from Livestock.
In the aftermath of the Copenhagen climate change summit, it is vital
the following information be disseminated to the public as well as to
our political leaders.
A widely cited 2006 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization, Livestock's Long Shadow, estimates that 18 percent of
annual worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are attributable to
livestock….however recent analysis by Goodland and Anhang co-authors
of "Livestock and Climate Change" in the latest issue of World Watch
magazine found that livestock and their byproducts actually account
for at least 32.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, or 51
percent of annual worldwide GHG emissions!
The main sources of GHGs from animal agriculture are:
1. Deforestation of the rainforests to grow feed for livestock.
2. Methane from manure waste. – Methane is 72 times more potent as a
global warming gas than CO2
3. Refrigeration and transport of meat around the world.
4. Raising, processing and slaughtering of the animal.
Meat production also uses a massive amount of water and other
resources which would be better used to feed the world's hungry and
provide water to those in need.
Based on their research, Goodland and Anhang conclude that replacing
livestock products with soy-based and other alternatives would be the
best strategy for reversing climate change. They say "This approach
would have far more rapid effects on GHG emissions and their
atmospheric concentrations-and thus on the rate the climate is warming-
than actions to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy."
The fact is that we are being informed of the dangerous path we are on
by depending greatly on animal flesh for human consumption. We still
have the opportunity to make the most effective steps in saving
ourselves and this planet. By simply choosing a plant based diet we
can reduce our carbon foot print by a huge amount.
We are gambling with our lives and with those of our future
generations to come. It's madness to know we are fully aware of the
possible consequences but yet are failing to act.
Please make a truly environmental, healthy and compassionate choice,
choose to drastically reduce your meat intake or simply go vegetarian
or vegan. This is the single most powerful action for preventing
climate change as it is the single largest source of greenhouse gas
emissions.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours Sincerely
