Meat production, particularly beef and dairy, is one of the leading cause of climate change – greater than the entire transportation sector. The climate crisis is the most serious environmental problem humanity faces, followed by water depletion, loss of wild lands and biodiversity and our dying oceans and waterways – all of which are also caused by the consumption of animals.
