Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
What
would happen if the whole world went vegetarian?
Traditions,
beliefs, cost or health. There are many reasons why some people are vegetarians.
In fact, nearly 30% of India’s population are vegetarians. But there is another
reason people should go vegetarian.
Environment.
Greenhouse gas emissions from food production is in fact larger than that from
driving cars. If no red meat is produced, emission by food production is
estimated to drop by 60%. More surprisingly, approximately two-thirds of the
agricultural land space is used for livestock. Although not all that space can
be converted to farmland to produce crops, considerable size of new space can
be used for farms and forests.
Though
eliminating the entire meat consumption sounds intolerable, reducing every
portion of red meat, by consciousness of the environment and health benefits
along with higher tax, might be feasible.
Enjoy
reading and thinking if and when the world leaders and people think and act
more consciously of the environment and their own health.
