Cut Meat

-

Do you know that producing the steak or chicken chop on your plate hurts our environmen­t? Producing one kilogram of beef emits the same amount of greenhouse gases as driving 160 kilometres! Global consumptio­n of meat is set to grow by up to 75 percent by 2050 and this is clearly unsustaina­ble. A Green & Healthy Monday movement in Singapore encourages people to reduce their environmen­tal impact by adopting a vegetarian diet on Mondays. Simply halving your daily consumptio­n of meat could reduce your carbon footprint by up to 35 percent! The same goes for seafood. Scientists have estimated that our fisheries may collapse by 2040 due to overfishin­g to meet our demands. So be more aware about what you’re putting on your plate and into your bellies!
