CENTER FOR BIOlogical DIVERSITY says
'take extinction off your plate'
"Meat production is one of the main drivers of environmental degradation globally, and the crisis is rapidly growing worse. Production of beef, poultry, pork and other meats tripled between 1980 and 2010 and will likely double again by 2020. This ever-increasing meat consumption in a world of more than 7 billion people is already taking a staggering toll on wildlife, habitat, water resources, air quality and the climate. And Americans eat more meat per capita than almost anywhere else. By reducing our meat consumption, we can take extinction off our plates and improve our own health along with the health of the planet." - Center for Biological Diversity
Animal Place is overjoyed to see a prominent environmental organization acknowledging that the farming industry has catastrophic impacts on the environment and animals. What further impresses us is that the Center for Biological Diversity has initiated an entire campaign to take on this issue - Take Extinction Off Your Plate - which encourages individuals to eat less meat in order to save wildlife.
The Center for Biological Diversity also maintains a veg-only policy for their sponsored events and has endorsed the Food for Thought campaign! While we call it an animal friendly menu policy, they call theirs earth friendly. To-may-toes. To-mah-toes. It all tastes good to us!
