Earth Day: Want some fries with your climate change?

April 22nd, 2008

“The one thing that still stuns me … is that almost no one in the ‘stop global warming’ camp talks about the environmental ramifications of animal production,” blogged vegan musician Moby. “To quote a U.N. article,” he added, “rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases than driving cars.”

 

The report Moby refers to found that animal agriculture is responsible for almost 1/5 of the pollution causing global warming. “Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today’s most serious environmental problems,” said Henning Steinfeld of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). “Urgent action is required to remedy the situation.”
