Promijenimo prehranu a ne klimu
ČINJENICA JEDAN
Poljoprivreda i prehrana životinjama najviše pridonose globalnoj klimatskoj krizi, odgovorni su za najmanje 20% globalnih emisija stakleničkih plinova.[1]

Further Info
The livestock sector emits 7.1 – 8.1 GtCO2-eq per year. Compared to global emissions of 49 – 52 GtCO2-eq, this represents 14.5 to 16% of global emissions.
Solution
Transitioning toward plant-based diets((footnote text)) has the potential to reduce one’s individual food related emissions by up to 50%.
ČINJENICA DVA
Poljoprivreda i prehrana životinjama nanose ogromnu štetu našim šumama. 80% krčenja šuma u svijetu vezano je za naš trenutni prehrambeni sustav, a gotovo 70% raščišćenog zemljišta u Amazoniji koristi se za ispašu stoke. [1] [2]

Further Info
According to the IPCC (2019) and Crippa et al. (2021) The food system emits up to 18 – 19.1 GtCO2-eq. (add comparison to something). If current trends continue, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C and difficult even to realize the 2°C target, even if fossil fuel emissions were immediately halted.
Solution
Transitioning toward plant-based diets has the potential to mitigate up to 8GtCO2-eq per year by 2050. In a recent analysis, vegan/plant based scenarios even showed high negative emissions due to vegetation regrowth on land previously used for concentrated livestock grazing. – (comparison)

Prelazak na biljnu prehranu mogao bi smanjiti vaše emisije vezane uz hranu čak do 50%.[1][2][3][4][5]

Further Info
Our dietary choices are a major driver of global deforestation. The animals needed to produce meat, milk and eggs need large quantities of land, be it for creating pastures for cattle farming or growing fodder crops.
Solution
Diets with no more than 15% of calories from livestock – half of what is currently consumed in Europe or Northern America – could reduce deforestation by up to 55%. Further deforestation would not be necessary to feed 10 billion people by 2050, when transitioning towards plant-based diets.
Klimatske promjene ne moraju biti snažne. Prelaskom na prehranu koja se zasniva više na biljnom podrijetlu, VI klimatsku krizu možete suzbiti svojom vilicom već danas. Djelujte ODMAH.

Prisežem da ću putem prehrane smanjiti svoj ugljični otisak i potaknuti druge na djelovanje.
