According Food and agriculture Organization of United Nation( http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/index.html), livestock is a major threat to environment. Livestock generates 65 percent of human-related nitrous oxide, which has 296 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO2. Most of this comes from manure. And it accounts for respectively 37 percent of all human-induced methane (23 times as warming as CO2), which is largely produced by the digestive system of ruminants, and 64 percent of ammonia, which contributes significantly to acid rain. Livestock use 30 percent of the earth’s entire land surface, mostly permanent pasture but also including 33 percent of the global arable land used to producing feed for livestock, the report notes. As forests are cleared to create new pastures, it is a major driver of deforestation, especially in Latin America where, for example, some 70 percent of former forests in the Amazon have been turned over to grazing. We should stop to raising animals, stop kill them, and stop eat their meats for our health and save the planet. I would like to share more information with you. Please go to the below websites. 1. http://www.ecofoodprint.org/climate.html 2. http://www.suprememastertv.com We have a shot time and few chances to save our planet. I believe you will do very well on it. Thanks for all you affords. Sincerely Andy Pham
