Into The Eyes Of God
"Animal Agriculture Consumes Enormous Amounts of Energy, and results in the devastation of topsoil and the pollution of air and water." Professor Francione
"The Nonhumans that we eat produce billions of tons of waste per year and these wastes are often dumped untreated into watercourses and they release greenhouse gases." Link
The United Nations, geniuses, spiritualists, economics, environmentalists, activists and leading edge scientists are unanimously agreeing ...
Most public information and campaigns, about how people can reduce their
global warming footprint are based around a conceptual model of the causes of
global warming, in which power stations and automobiles are the only
greenhouse gas emitters worthy of consideration. This has given methane a very
low public profile even though it is the second most important greenhouse gas
after CO2. Globally, enteric fermentation from livestock (predominantly
ruminants) is the biggest anthropogenic source of methane, with traditional
red meat producing about double the methane of rice growing for a mere 10% of
the food calories. In this sense the “carbon intensity” of beef is about 20
times greater than rice. Countries like Australia and Brazil already have more
cattle than people, and China, whose traditional staple is rice, is witnessing
a steep rise in cattle numbers. These huge and growing ruminant populations
are a threat to serious attempts to reduce the planet’s radiation imbalance,
and hence to our ability to stave off dangerous levels of climate change.
The Carbon Hoofprint
A closer look at the indictment of the livestock industry

Choose Compassion for Earth based on scientific evidence.
The United Nations has released scientific research revealing that rain forest habitat, soil degradation, water contamination and the largest source of C02 comes
from the agricultural industry. There is no way to argue with this evidence. It is everywhere and has been a keystone of environmental research for years. Now it is just
overwhelmingly clear. And if you want to live a green lifestyle, going Vegan is more important than anything else you can do including going fuel efficient and recycling. Going Vegan
saves thousands of human lives and animal lives. Vegan means not only not eating cows, but now wearing them or using any product that has been forced into subjugation. Why would we wear a Cow
when we can wear natural particle filled fabrics directly from the Earth? Fabrics from Cows Hurt….so do clothes made of wool (mulesing) and pelts and fur. Wear something that feels luxurious
like Pleather not dead like Leather. Compassion is a verb….Please make it an ACTION! This is also about peace and harmony and living in balance with nature. And even more importantly not causing suffering to
other living, sentient and perhaps even more intelligent beings. You will no longer need to consume pain on your plate or wear it on your feet cause if you haven't already adopted a life of Veganism
you certainly soon will consider it after discovering the marvels of these facts backed by science.
Vegetarianism and Global Change
Livestock production emissions: 18%
Global Transportation emissions: 13.5%
18% of all greenhouse-gas emissions from human activities, including:
9% of CO2 37% of CH4 (methane) -
- 23 times the Global Warming Potential of CO2 over 100 years
- 72 times over 20 years 65% of N2O (nitrous oxide)
- 296 times the Global Warming Potential of CO2 over 100 years, 275 over 20 years.
The UN recently estimated that meat production accounts for nearly 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions and will continue to rise. World meat consumption per capita has doubled in the last forty years. Americans consume 75 grams of animal protein each day, over twice what is considered an adequate amount of protein.
