[Pledge] I’ll eat more veggo meals and less meat [Why] According to a report published by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the livestock sector generates more greenhouse gas emissions (18%) than transport. Add to that significant land occupation and degradation (30% of the earth’s entire land surface for pasture, and 33% of the global arable land producing feed for livestock), water consumption (beef and dairy production are the highest water consumers in Australia), and huge emissions of Methane (which is over 20 times as powerful as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in our atmosphere) and Nitrous Oxide (which is 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide and 65% of total worldwide emissions comes from meat, egg, and dairy industries).

Science has proven that one of the most effective ways to address global warming is to reduce meat consumption; in fact reducing meat and animal product consumption is the most significant thing an individual can do to reduce their carbon footprint.
