VEGANISM AND CLIMATE CHANGE
A night of films, food and talks...
Veganism is a climate issue, an animal rights issue and a health issue. Producing one calorie of animal protein requires more than 10 times as much fossil fuel input as a calorie of plant protein. By rearing animals to satisfy our appetite for meat and dairy products, we are harming animals, the planet, future generations and ourselves.
Speakers....
"Diet of Disaster" by Juliet Gellatley (founder & director of Viva! and the Vegetarian & vegan Foundation).
"Livestock's contribution to environmental problems is on a massive
scale. The impact is so significant that it needs to be addressed with urgency."United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation 2006
