This article from May 15th, 2012 discusses how eating less meat leads to less green house gases, thus, helping slow global warming. In 2007, it was said that raising animals was the cause of 18% of all green house gases. In 2009, an article was published saying that number is actually closer to 51%. Bittman argues that we need to eat less meat in addition to looking at new forms of energy, and that people don't take this seriously enough. The shrinking amount of clean water as well as land on earth is largely impacted by livestock production. Bittman wants people to be aware that while this is a huge problem, it's one that is easier to fix than most huge problems. Eat less meat, and it will give some relief to our resources diminishing every second.
