Save the earth, prevent global warming....

Eat less meat:

London, England (AHN) - Cutting world meat consumption by 10 percent would significantly slow down the impact of global warming, a new research has found.

Writing in the latest edition of medical health journal The Lancet, the scientists advised people in rich countries to limit their meat consumption to the equivalent of one hamburger per person per day to help reduce global warming.

"Worldwide, agricultural activity, especially livestock production, accounts for about a fifth of total greenhouse-gas emissions, thus contributing to climate change and its adverse health consequences, including the threat to food yields in many regions," write the authors.

Researchers believe that cutting global red meat consumption from an average of 100g per person per day to 90g would cut the gases emitted by cows, sheep and goats that contribute to global warming.
