Do you Recycle?

Are you vegetarian/vegan or have you been?

There are many other alternative ways to go through green even though I am biased towards Veganism too because I have been there.

I don't recycle because I'm ignorant about recycling.

I don't eat vegetarian/vegan not because I transcended it but because I haven't even seriously considered the possibility.

It's about expanding your sense of concern and care. Recycling is quite easy actually, you can learn in a few hours all that there is to it. Regarding a change in diet, well that requires a lot of work. Then why to do it?

Well in peak green one really cares for the ecosystem, nature and moral high grounds. When you connect the dots, you realize that as an individual the activity that most fucks up the planet is eating meat (this is a fact) and when you discover how animals are treated and slaughtered then your morality doesn't allow it either. Some interesting facts that any stage green individual has seriously contemplated:

1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Meat-based diet: Eating a single quarter-pound beef burger produces the same greenhouse gas emissions as driving a typical car for ~10 miles.

Vegan diet: Choosing a plant-based burger instead reduces that impact to the equivalent of driving just ~0.5 miles.

2. Water Use

Meat-based diet: Producing a single steak (200 grams) requires around 3,000 liters of water—enough to fill a small swimming pool.

Vegan diet: Producing the same amount of lentils requires only 600 liters, or just enough to fill a bathtub.

3. Land Use

Meat-based diet: If everyone adopted a meat-heavy diet, we would need the equivalent of 3 planets to produce enough food sustainably.

Vegan diet: Would free up land roughly the size of Australia, China, the EU, and the US combined if adopted globally, allowing for reforestation and increased biodiversity.

4. Food Calories Efficiency

Meat-based diet: Feeding 100 calories of grain to animals yields only 3-12 calories of meat or dairy. This is tremendously inefficiency.

Vegan diet: Those same 100 calories of grain, consumed directly, could feed up to 10 times more people, drastically reducing world hunger.
