In the Amazon Rainforest only the 3% of the deforestation is due to the need of lumber. The 60% (sixty!) is caused by cows pasture. They take down the trees to create space for cows. We do. The 80% of this meat is exported, overall in Europe. Amazon is in our dishes. We're chowing it down. (Look at this.)
There are two billions cattles allover the world. They fart. A cow's fart is pretty big. They're one of the causes of global warming. One kg of red meat produces more CO2 than driving for 250 kms. That damn kilo uses more energy than a 100 watts lamp used for 20 days, 24 hours a day. You need 9 kgs of cereal to feed that kilo of red meat. While people die of starvation. They die to give us the right of eating as much meat as we want.
Vegetarianism?
