How can a vegan diet help combat the climate crisis? How can meat farming make it worse?
A vegan diet can help combat the climate crisis by reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emission. Vegans doesn’t eat animal source foods like meat and dairy because it produces methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide. These toxic gases are destroying the atmosphere, leaving us without protection from the sun.
Would you be willing to adopt a fully vegan diet? Or would you rather just reduce the amount of meat you eat? And Why?
I think I can’t live without eating meat. Besides from it tasting really good, there are still nutrients that we could get from it. But, to help combat the climate crisis, I am going to reduce the amount of meat that I consume and start to have a diet plan.
Should people who choose to eat meat pay extra for medical services?
Only if their sickness is caused by meat consuming habit. If almost everyone is trying to lower their carbon footprint while some are still contributing to it, they should pay extra for medical services for that money to be an exchange for their contribution to climate change and global warming.
Should meat be more expensive to help pay for initiatives that combat climate change?
We can’t completely stop people from consuming meat. However, they could still contribute to help the world recover from the effects of agriculture farming by having those products to be expensive. With this, they could somewhat buy it occasionally and it would already have a little help on the problem.
