Even if you don't believe in climate change, can we agree that pollution and unnecessary destruction is not a good thing?

This video offers a look at the connection between animal agriculture and environment. How much land is used to grow animals for food? How much water? What are the impacts on our planet? On ourselves?

If we reduce our consumption of meat and dairy, we're doing the earth a favour. In future videos, we'll focus on other reasons to get onto the plant based path. But in preparation for the March 15th rally, arm yourself with information and let the young folk know you care and you're there.
