EATING MEAT HAS A CONSIDERABLE IMPACT ON GLOBAL WARMING!!
Lord Stern of Brentford, a former chief economist at the World Bank and now IG Patel Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics and adviser to the government on the economics of climate change, recommend be vegetarian to help reduce global carbon emissions. The statistics are clear and talk about ruminant animals (cattle and sheep), are responsible for up to a quarter of methane emissions worldwide.
He said: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better".
Also at the climate change conference in Copenhagen (2006) Stern warned that countries needed to spend 1% of their GDP to stop greenhouse gases rising to dangerous levels.
Besides The Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), established to set and enforce environmental standards for palm oil production, nowadays is divided over the need to control carbon emissions and could break up. The trouble was created after palm plantation companies in Indonesia and Malaysia blocked efforts to curb their greenhouse gas emissions; about that Marcus Silvius, member of RSPO's working group on greenhouse gases, said: "If this issue is not resolved and greenhouse gas emissions are not included in the standard, then I don't see how the RSPO can continue to act as a certifying body”.
Therefore, is important take conscience about that present problem, not only the government or big-scale industry have responsibilities, everybody can do something and that includes what we are eating.
