Studies revealed that 35 percent to 40 percent of all methane emissions (which have 23 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide), 65 percent of nitrous oxide (which is 320 times as warming as carbon dioxide) and 64 percent of ammonia, which contributes to acid rain. The animals' burps, the nitrous oxide gases from their decomposing manure and other factors, including the energy needed to store and transport meat, were responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector.

30% of the worlds land is used for animal grazing?

The amount of land used to grow crops to feed livestock is 10 times what we need to grow crops for human consumption. Because of this, the demand for land is much greater, which leads to the decimation of rainforests and other vital land.

According to Hence Freston, 'Producing a calorie of meat protein means burning more than ten times as much fossil fuels—and spewing more than ten times as much heat-trapping carbon dioxide - as does a calorie of plant protein.'

In other words, reducing or eliminating the amount of meat one eats will have a significant impact on the environment.
