Whether it’s bacon for breakfast, deli meat for lunch or meatloaf for dinner, we have a lot of choices when it comes to meat. But did you know that while we’re filling our tummies, we’re also contributing to climate change?

For most of us, the meat we eat comes from livestock (animals like cows, pigs and chickens) and we’re eating so much meat, that raising livestock has become a big source of greenhouse gas emissions, which are causing the planet to warm faster than it has in the past.

As the global temperature rises, animals all over the world are feeling the impact.

That’s why we’re challenging you to go meat-free one day a week!

 

Don’t panic – it’s easier than you think. Pick a day of the week that works best and then leave the meat behind. You can choose a meat-free pizza, make your spaghetti without meatballs, or go with a veggie burger instead of a beef patty. You can even have mac and cheese!

  1. I have been a vegetarian my entire life, which means that I have never eaten meat before. I tell people this and they just stand there in shock, “OMG how have you never eaten MEAT it’s soooooo good?!?!?!?”. I’m just standing there like, “Eating meat contributes to global warming, world hunger ,wasting water, destruction of forests, and can cause you fatal diseases, AND I find it sad to kill animals”. “On the other hand if you go vegetarian you are SAVING about 100 animals per year”.” Have I answered your question?”. 🙂
