The Importance of Land for Indigenous Tribes Indigenous tribes have been living on the land for hundreds of years, and it is their home. Despite what the paper says, we should consider giving them land because they have a deep connection to it.
The Impact of Animal Agriculture on Ecosystems "Eating Our Way to Extinction": Climate change and environmental damage are being driven by animal agriculture. It is one of the top causes behind severe global crises such as species extinction, hunger, poverty, disease, and climate change itself.
Deforestation: The Consequences of Livestock Farming Animal agriculture has led to deforestation at an alarming rate. Forests are destroyed to make room for pastures and feedstock production like soybeans. This destruction not only affects wildlife but also contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.
The Devastating Impact of Overfishing The ocean is essential for human survival as it produces the air we breathe. However, overfishing has led to a significant decline in fish populations, with predictions that fisheries will collapse within 30 years. Fishing is the leading cause of marine life extinction and our taste for fish is depleting our oceans.
Unsustainable Practices in Fish Farming "Farmed" fish from Norway make up a large portion of what we eat today. However, these artificial fish farms are plagued by disease and lice problems which require extensive use of pesticides and antibiotics. The waste from these farms pollutes the ocean floor and releases harmful methane gas into the atmosphere.
Plastic Pollution in the Pacific A study found that discarded fishing gear makes up about 80% of plastic in the Pacific. Moving away from eating fish and adopting a plant-based diet is crucial to solving this problem.
"Biological Annihilation" and Extinction Crisis "Biological annihilation" refers to the current crisis of mass extinction, with over 60% of animal populations wiped out since 1970. Land use for agriculture, particularly livestock farming, is driving species loss.
The Environmental Impact of Livestock Farming Livestock farming contributes significantly to biodiversity loss and climate change due to methane emissions. Shifting towards plant-based diets can have a substantial positive impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water usage.
The Hidden Truth of Butcheries "It's not my butcher who does this." -No. They need to open their eyes, because if their butcher is being honest with them, we know. Any honest butcher will admit it.
Water Cycles and Extreme Weather Events As our oceans and atmosphere warm due to climate change, the water cycles of the planet are changing. This leads to more concentrated precipitation in clouds and extreme water events worldwide.
The Impact on Food Supply: Droughts & Collapsing Systems Increasing levels of extreme flooding have been destroying crops in many places while others face severe droughts that destroy thousands of tons of crop as well; causing a decrease in food supply.
