Planetary Emergency.

"We are so close to the red line, we may wake up tomorrow and discover there is nothing left to save." -- Maneka Gandhi, former indian environment minister.

If the future of the world depended on me, what would i do?

DID YOU KNOW?

Greenhouse gases, who produces most? Livestock produces 40% more Greenhouse gas emissons than global transportation.

Amazon forest releases 20billion tonnes of fresh water into the atmosphere everyday. 24hours of deforestation releases as much COz as 8million people flying from London to New York. Every second, rainforest the size of a football firld is destroyed to produce 257 hamburgers. More than 90% Amazon forest cleared since 1970 is used for livestock pasture.

18months to halt deforestation to preserve life on this planet. -- (May, 2008) His Royal Highness Prince Charles

16pounds of Grain needed to produce 1pounds of beef. Factory farm Cows never die of hunger, yet, a child dies from hunger every 2.3 seconds, 1.2billion people suffer from hunger, another 1.2billion people are obese.

Every year 760million tonnes of Grain fed to Livestock, it could solve global food shortage 14times. Grain fed to animals for livestock ;pses 90% of the energy from the original grain.

1hectare of land produces Potatoes for 22people, 1hectare of land produces Lamb for 2people, 1hectare of land produces beef for 1person.

1.1bilion people live without safe clean drinking water that's 1 in 6 of us. 19,737 liters of water are needed to produce 1pound of beef, this is enough water to take 7 minute shower evry day for an entire year. Livestock in U.S. produce 86,000 pounds of excrement per second, that's 130times more than the entire human population.

BUT, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THIS NOW, IT'S ON YOUR PLATE.

BE VEG, GO GREEN.

我們是如此接近紅色警戒線，當我們明天醒來時，可能發現，為時已晚。-印度前環境署長瑪尼卡.甘地

如果世界的未來操之在我，我可以為地球做什麼？

您知道嗎？

溫室效應氣體，何者產生較多？牛？汽車？捷運？郵輪？飛機？畜牧業比全球交通運輸所產生的溫室效應氣體總合還多40%

每天亞馬遜森林釋出200億公噸新鮮的水到空氣中，砍伐森林24小時，所釋出的二氧化碳等於800萬人從倫敦乘坐飛機到紐約。每秒鐘，為了產生257個漢堡，就有一個如橄欖球場大小的雨林被摧毀。從1970年起，為增加放牧蓄養農地，清砍超過90%的亞馬遜森林。

停止砍伐森林，以報地球上的生命，關鍵時間僅剩18個月。--2008年五月，英國查爾斯王子。

每生產1磅的牛肉，就需要消耗16磅的穀物。工廠化農場的牛從不因飢餓而死，然而，每2.3秒就有一個孩童死於飢餓，十億兩千萬的人飽受飢餓之苦，另外十億兩千萬人卻過度肥胖。

每年有760億噸的穀物用來餵養牲口，是用來解決全球糧食短缺的14倍糧食。用來餵養牲口的糧食比起穀物原物料所需能源多損失了90%的能源。

一公頃土地所生產的馬鈴薯可供給22個人食用，一公頃土地所生產的稻米可供給19個人食用，一公頃土地所生產的小羊肉可供給2個人食用，一公頃土地所生產的牛肉僅可供1個人食用。

十億一千萬人，我們每六個人當中就有一個沒有安全乾淨的飲用水。生產一磅的牛肉需要耗用19,737加侖的水，這足夠讓你一整年每天沖個7分鐘的澡。光是美國境內所有的牲口每秒就製造八萬六千磅的排泄物，那是全人類排泄量的130倍。

但是，您有能力即刻終止這一切，就在您的飲食上。
