Norfolk, Virginia. – Following the United Nations (UN) climate report released this month, which warns of the need for immediate global cuts in greenhouse gas emissions to prevent the Red Code of Humanity, PETA has provided funds to distribute 10,000 greenhouse gases. Methane Compensation Starter Kits some of the most vulnerable cities in the United States to climate change so that people can take personal action right now… Since the UN has identified livestock as the leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions, long-term storage kits contain a block of tofu, soybean seeds (100 calories of soybeans contain 13 grams). more protein than 100 calories of beef), non-dairy cream, recipes, and PETA’s Vegan Starter Kit are enough to get you started on a sustainable lifestyle and healthy, humane diet.
“The UN report, like the previous one, shows that the human diet is the main source of greenhouse gases due to belching of animals and deforestation caused by growing crops to feed them,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA’s Methane Compensation Starter Kit shows how easy it is to go vegan now because the Earth can’t wait any longer.”
UN Says Global Shift to Vegan Food required to combat the worst impacts of climate change, with livestock alone being responsible for nearly one fifth all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Clearing land to raise animals and grow crops to feed them is a major cause of deforestation, including in the Amazon, and animal husbandry uses huge amounts of water, contributing to droughts and wildfires.
The cities that received the kits include Corpus Christi, Texas, and Jacksonville, Florida, which are expected to face increased flooding; Charleston, South Carolina, where experts predict hotter days, more rain and more flooding; and Tucson, Arizona, where hotter weather is expected to reduce depleting groundwater supplies. PETA also ships kits to San Jose, California, which is suffering from new wildfires; Seattle, which has just faced record heat; and Sacramento, California, which is currently plagued by smoke from the Dixie Fire, the second largest wildfire in the state’s history.
PETA, whose motto is in part that “the animals are not ours to eat or otherwise abuse” – opposes arrogance, a worldview focused on human superiority. For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
