If you want to save the planet, put down your burger. Or rather, finish it, savouring every single bite, and mentally prepare yourself not to have another until at least next week.
Raising animals for food is a major contributor to climate change, responsible for an estimated 14.5 percent of all global emissions. Following last week’s U.N. report on the dire prospects for the future of the planet, the Climate, Land, Ambition & Rights Alliance has presented its own self-described “radical” plan to keep global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. The report rejects many of the U.N.’s technologically-driven mitigation solutions, such as carbon capture and geoengineering, in favour of a simple approach.
The bottom line: Eat less meat-a lot, lot less.
