Nowadays, be a vegetarian is becoming a trend. It is not only for health, but also for prevents the globe warming.
Based on the latest satellite date cited in a December 2007 article, the national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) climate scientist predicts that nearly all the ice could be gone from the Arctic Ocean by the end of summer 2012! So terrible news it is.
Scientists said change our diet can do helpful to roll things back. Animal agriculture is a large source of greenhouse gases and is responsible for 18 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalents. Because animals fed on grain, those need far more water than grain crops. In addition, animal farming produces 65 percent of human-related nitrous oxide and 37 percent of all human-induced methane. Methane has about 21 times more Global Warming Potential (GWP) than carbon dioxide. The other expression is the resource consumption of a meat eater per meal can supply 20 vegetarian per meal. Therefore, to be a vegetarian can contributes our globe environment greatly.
