Yesterday, Mercy For Animals joined the hundreds of
thousands of people in New York City who united at the People’s Climate March.
Our mission was to speak truth to power about the number one
contributor to climate change and one of the most dangerous threats to our
planet: animal agriculture.
Believe it or not, many people who care about the
environment still have no idea that raising animals for food is so incredibly destructive.
Consider some of these facts:
- Going vegan immediately cuts your CO2 emissions in half
- It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce just one pound of beef
- 80 percent of land deforested in the Amazon is for raising cattle
- Factory farms grossly contaminate rivers and ground water

Sustainability Secret.
