Producing meat uses many primary food sources like wheat, maize or grain - and also oil for additional transport. Plus meat always needs to be cold - and therefore needs even more energy for refrigeration.

All livestock farts and produces loads of greenhouses gasses - and that’s actually as much bad gas as produced by cars.

Earth Day is one of these new holidays that give me the creeps. They always have a good intention behind them, to raise awareness and hopefully get people to do something.

Instead it’s a humiliating reminder that 99,9% of our fellow humans don’t care or simply don’t know what’s going on.

I personally would prefer if some great catastrophe would wipe out a big city or kill a million people - MAYBE then everyday would be Earth Day?

In China air pollution kills at least 100.000 people a year. But this number hardly registers when your population is over 1.000.000.000.

Don’t forget: 22nd of April is Earth Day! Either kill someone to reduce the human stress on our planet or do something nice for mother nature …

Each year we waste billions of plastic bags for shopping and waste disposal. They are made out of oil - a valuable resource - so it’s a huge waste of a precious material. But worst of all: it takes nature almost forever to dissolve plastic bags. Plus many animals get trapped in thrown away bags.

Like the light bulb the plastic bag has to go and replaced by something renewable and more practical. It’s a shame that it takes us so long to get rid of it … can we please start a war on plastic bags? Some people have started campaigns to get rid of it - and some government simply make the consumer pay for it. (Thanks for the link Xtine)
