So many people are saying that meateaters are destroying the planet, because of all the animals producing methane.But my question / problem is this, Rainforest is being pulled down to grow soya and palm oil, at the rate of football fields a day or even less. I don't see becoming vegetiarian as an environmentally friendly alternative, because of the soya bean issue, and because there has to be the space to grow enough pulses and veg protein to feed an overflowing planet.
The loss of rainforest is more worrying, because no one knows what will happen if it all goes, yes some people are worried, but no one is doing much about it or talking about it in an urgent way. I suspect that demolishing rainforest is causing climate change and that rather than grubbing it up, we should be replacing it.
So many of the arguements I see on telly and elsewhere seem to oversimplify the issues. We live in a complex ecosystem on this planet and we mess around with things at our peril. Trade and earning a living are important, but the greed of Multinational Companies, grasping at what is a man made financial structure, regarding money and destroying the world we live in. We all need energy to live, to eat, and stay warm and this has been true for thousands of years.
We cannot turn the clocks back, so we need to find creative ways to survive.
