Lokaal of niet, vlees = ontbossing op grote schaal…

It’s pretty much impossible to live a life free of environmental harm. The cleanest energy relies on mining. Critical medical supplies produce plastic waste. Even organic foods are typically grown with pesticides.

But there is one thing you could do immediately that would help the planet a heck of a lot: eat less beef.🥩

While for most omnivores, beef is hard to give up, the data is incredibly clear and incredibly compelling: Of all the foods we produce on Earth, beef is the No. 1 destroyer of forests, and especially rainforests. Raising cattle for meat not only endangers wildlife but fuels climate change — in a big way.

@IngridHbn and yet the EU bends over backwards to allow Brazilian beef

#Soy to feed billions of #cattle by the way , for only 18% of calories (not humans, as soya for humans is generally organic and grown in Europe)

@IngridHbn en politieke verkiezingen. Want zodra die beginnen wordt bos verkocht aan boeren in ruil voor stemmen. Hele regenwouden die daarna gekapt worden voor landbouw. Maar daar lees je weer niets over.

@humanhorseshoes true. But let’s not focus on a specific type. The message is: all meat creates massive deforestation. Also local… Via soy products for animal agriculture…etc. Also goes foe dairy.
