Farming animals is responsible for 65 percent of human emissions of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 296 times more powerful than carbon dioxide, and stays in the atmosphere for 150 years.

00:22.000 --> 00:23.000
That's insane.

00:23.000 --> 00:26.000
We need to stop eating animals.

00:26.000 --> 00:35.000
Even without fossil fuels, we will exceed our 565 gigatons of carbon dioxide limit by 2030, all from raising animals for food.

A Quarter Pounder takes over 660 gallons of water to produce, and this is equivalent to taking four-minute daily showers for two months, with a shower head that produces 2.5 gallons per minute.

00:48.000 --> 01:02.000
Every day a person who eats a vegan diet saves 1100 gallons of water, 45 pounds of grain, 30 square feet of forested land, the equivalent to 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, and the life of an animal.

I went vegan after watching "Cowspiracy" a few years ago.

01:19.000 --> 01:27.000
