Among the myriad threats now facing humanity, our current economic system is a top culprit. It is an economy based on a form of capitalism often referred to as neoclassical or limitless growth economy.

Climate change is intensifying drought, storms, and floods around the world. Where nature has been destroyed by development, communities are at risk from these intensified climate patterns.

Our planet has finite resources, and cannot sustain the levels of consumption that our human population imposes. Family planning and the eduction of girls is a top priority.

World Wildlife Foundation estimates 60% of global biodiversity loss results from clearing land for meat-based diets. 

Half of the topsoil on the planet has been lost in the last 150 years. In addition to erosion, soil quality is affected by other aspects of agriculture. Restoration projects around the world are seeking to restore soil fertility in degraded landscapes

Human activities are threatening the health of the world’s oceans. More than 80 percent of marine pollution comes from land-based activities. From coral bleaching to sea level rise, entire marine ecosystems are threatened. We have already crossed the tipping point for corral reef, only 20% of which remain.

Today fully one-sixth of the world’s human population lacks access to clean drinking water, and more than two million people—mostly kids—die each year from water-borne diseases.

Emissions of Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide trap the sun's heat, raising global temperatures beyond the agreed 1.5 degrees celsius above pre industrial levels raises the earth’s temperature. Air pollution  is caused by industrial processes, transportation, agricultural practices, fires, etc.

The numbers don’t lie. Animal agriculture and meat consumption are significant contributors to climate change. Forests are destroyed and fully 3/4 of all agricultural lands are used  to grow feed and graze animals. Cow burps are the largest anthropogenic source of methane. This is why a  mostly plant based diet is essential. the world’s biggest contributors to climate change.
