Vegan For the Environment // Meatless Mondays #1

Many people who consider themselves environmentalists try all things possible to reduce their waste at home, in public, or on the go. Some may even go to the extent to live a "zero-waste" lifestyle. What not many people know is the amount of waste the meat and dairy industry create. If you look on major non-profits for the environment, you may not find much information on the effects meat and dairy productions have on the environment.

There's established statistics on the effects this all has on the environment. The documentary Cowspiracy, created and produced by environment-lovers Kip Anderson and Keegan Kuhn, touches upon a lot of great points and even includes exclusive interviews with inspiring people and organizations. The meat and dairy industry uses up waaaay more water and gives off waaay more pollution than most of the world combined.

Every Monday, there will be a post on vegan subjects such as recipes, hacks, or facts. According to Kip Anderson, only true environmentalists are vegan for the environment.

Below is an infrograph from the documentary. Conspiracy is available on Netflix and we really encourage you eco-lovers to watch it!
