Be Vegetarian , Save the World

A Poster by Peta


Reducing Meat Consumtion can bring down Green House Gas Emissions.Such lifestyle changes and behaviour patterns can contribute to climate change mitigation work.

A farmer can feed up to 30 persons throughout a year from one hectare with vegetables, fruits and cereals. If the same area is used for the production of eggs, milk or meat, the number of persons that can be fed varies from five to ten

Livestock production accounts for 70 per cent of all agricultural land and 30 per cent of the world’s surface land area.

These are excerpts from R.K.Pachauri's article published in Indian Express 3rd dec(or HT 4th dec).

We all know the personal benefits of Vegetarian food over Non-Vegetarian(i am not going to point those out here). Now there is another reason to avoid meat -Climate .Have a look at the complete article here :-
