sentient beings & for the
environment.From
www.woodstockFAS.orgMany
leading environmental
organizations, including the
National Audubon Society, the
WorldWatch Institute, the
Sierra Club, and the Union of
Concerned Scientists, have
recognized that raising
animals for food damages the
environment more than just
about anything else that we
do. Fortunately there is
something you can do -- switch
to a plant-based diet, or at
the very least reduce your
meat and dairy consumption.1
Factory farms produce massive
amounts of dust and other
contamination that pollutes
our air. A study in Texas
found that animal feedlots in
the state produce more than 14
million pounds of particulate
dust every year and that the
dust 'contains biologically
active organisms such as
bacteria, mold, and fungi from
the feces and the feed.'2
According to the nonprofit
group Greenpeace, all the wild
animals and trees in more than
2.9 million acres of
rainforest were destroyed in
the 2004-2005 crop season in
order to grow crops that are
used to feed chickens and
other animals in factory
farms.3 According to a 2006 UN
report, the livestock sector
causes more greenhouse gases
worldwide than the entire
transportation sector. 4
Nitrous oxide is about 300
times more potent as a global
warming gas than carbon
dioxide. According to the
U.N., the meat, egg, and dairy
industries account for a
staggering 65 percent of
worldwide nitrous oxide
emissions.5 According to the
Environmental Protection
Agency, the run-off from
factory farms pollutes our
waterways more than all other
industrial sources combined.
The EPA reports that chicken,
hog, and cattle excrement have
polluted 35,000 miles of
rivers in 22 states and
contaminated groundwater in 17
states. 6 It takes 16 pounds
of grain and 2,500 gallons of
water to produce 1 pound of
meat. One average meat eater
could consume that pound of
meat during a meal, while 16
people could have been fed on
the grain it takes to produce
that pound of meat. 7 The meat
industry causes more water
pollution in the US than all
other industries combined
because the animals raised for
food produce 130 times more
excrement than the entire
human population--86,000 lbs
per second. A typical pig
factory farm generates a
quantity of raw waste equal to
that of a city of 12,000
people. 8 Every 2 seconds, a
child starves to death
somewhere in the world.
Countries such as Ethiopia and
some Central American
countries use their farmland
to supply the United States
with cheap burgers instead of
growing healthful grain foods
for their own starving
people.9 The livestock
population of the US consumes
enough grain and soybeans to
feed more than 5 times its
human population. 90% of all
corn and 80% of all grains and
beans grown in the US are used
to feed livestock animals. 10.
75 percent of U.S. topsoil has
been lost to date, 85 percent
of that loss is due to
livestock rearing.Meat is
murder on the environmentA

responsible for more
greenhouse gas emissions
