Vegetarian and Demitarian, Diet Can Save the Earth

Now the diet into a healthy lifestyle . Many people adopt a vegetarian diet . Diets that do not consume animal products is more healthy for the body . It is also more energy efficient .
As noted a study that says a vegetarian diet can reduce carbon emissions earth . The newly released study highlights that the decline in meat consumption can help save the earth .
Climate Focus , climate policy advisor firm and the law , found that research farm annual carbon emissions can be reduced 50-90 % by 2030 . Thing that can be achieved by doing 12 strategies , such as switching to a meat -free lifestyle , reduce food waste , and introducing new agricultural practices .
Charlotte Streck , Climate Focus director , said 70 percent of the emissions associated with livestock farming . Livestock industry spends 30 % of land on earth and 33 % of the arable land area used for growing fodder fields .
In addition , less than 4% of what cattle eat goes into the production of meat and milk . The rest is released as methane , one of the greenhouse gases .
Methane is a gas heating effect 25 times stronger than carbon dioxide . Release of methane into the air triggers more rapid global warming .
In the report of the United Nations ( FAO ) , entitled Livestock 's Long Shadow : Environmental Issues and Options ( November 2006 ) , said that the producer of industrial animal agriculture is the largest greenhouse gas emissions , about 18 % .Greenhouse gas emissions include the livestock industry 9 % carbon dioxide , 37 % methane , 65 % nitrous oxide ( 296 sefek stronger warming than carbon dioxide , and 64 % ammonia ( cause of acid rain ) .
By becoming a vegetarian , earth can be saved because of reduced production of methane gas . Streck also said a vegetarian diet can help people become healthier , thereby reducing the burden on the public and private health systems .
Another way to reduce meat consumption by applying demitarian diet . Demitarian is the latest diet to reduce by half the consumption of animal products . Similar to flexitarian ( vegetarian diet on weekdays ) , the concept of demitarian diet by reducing animal products , but that does not mean do not eat them at all .
By reducing half the consumption of animal products , can reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions by 25-40 % . There was also a reduction in nitrogen pollution by 40 % nitrogen . Nitrogen pollution causes poor air quality and lower oxygen levels in the water .
Animal products can be replaced with plant-based foods , such as vegetables , fruits , nuts . With consume plant foods , people will avoid the various diseases , one of which heart disease .
Many positive results are obtained by applying a vegetarian diet and demitarian , the health of the body more alert , be more healthy environment , and the earth was also saved .
