Please consider a vegan diet for the Earth, for the animals and for your health.

A vegan is someone who does not consume or wear any animal products. Vegans avoid: all meat, dairy, animal clothing (leather, silk, and wool), and products tested on animals.

Some of the most dangerous industries to the environment are the meat and dairy industry. Not only are rainforests being cut for livestock, but also our own old growth forests. Factory farms, literally factories containing thousands of animals in close quarters, extract thousands of pounds of manure into our water systems and our land daily. They consume over one third of our natural resources.

• Per second, livestock excrete over 230,000 pounds of manure.
• Water pollution due to this industry, including runoff soil, pesticides and manure, is greater than all municipal and industrial sources combined.
• Half of the contaminated wells and surface streams are caused by livestock agriculture.
• Livestock production accounts for half of all water consumed in the US.
• Calories of fossil fuel expended to produce 1 calorie of protein from beef: 78
• Calories of fossil fuel expended to produce 1 calorie of protein from soybeans: 1
• 64% of US cropland is used for producing livestock.
• 2% of US cropland is used for producing fruits and vegetables.

Pounds of edible product that can be produced on an acre of prime land:

• Cherries 5,000
• Green beans 10,000
• Apples 20,000
• Carrots 30,000
• Potatoes 40,000
• Tomatoes 50,000
• Celery 60,000
• Beef 250

The simple answer is to adopt a vegan diet. By abstaining from meat and dairy you will not only save thousands of acres of land but also innocent animal lives.

Consuming meat and dairy can not only be detrimental to the Earth but also to your health. By becoming vegan you can avoid the following diseases:

Arthritis, Breast Cancer, Constipation, Diverticuloses, Heart Disease, Hypoglycemia, Kidney Disease, Osteoporosis, Prostate Cancer, Strokes, Asthma, Colon Cancer, Diabetes, Gallstones, Hypertension, Impotence, Obesity, Peptic Ulcers, Salmonellas, and Trichinosis.

Go Vegan!!

There is no Justice, Just Us!
