Facts revealed by the FAO in 2006 explained that the meat is a commodity with highest emitters of carbon dioxide (20%). In addition, the livestock industry also requires a lot of energy to turn livestock into meat ready for consumption.
Vegetarians can also save energy, where the current or future energy becomes very expensive and more energy is used it will also contribute to global warming. Now, energy crisis and food crisis spread all over the world. How to solve it? One of them is by becoming a vegetarian or at least reduce the sources of animal foods. As described above, animal food ingredients needs more energy consumption in the production and supply than vegetables.
            From the description above, you can see the amount of the contribution of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, which is produced from each component of the farm sector. Now it's our turn to be able to take a stand to preserve our earth remains good until the next to our descendants, or we just want our descendants will feel the results of what we have done previously. There is no harm in trying because, other than our bodies can be healthy, our earth will also remain healthy for us.
