Teach The Children

Look at this mural painting at a schoolyard at Petchaburi Rd, Bangkok, explaining in details about Global Warming, isn't it beautiful ?
In the center of this infopainting we can see a farting cow, besides funny, it's a reference to the United Nations report Lifestocks Long Shadow that concludes "livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than that of transport."

Read that again, and now in plain english :

"the meat we eat causes 18% of all greenhouse gasses."

And lets not forget about deforestation, degredation of fertile soil and turning them into desertlike places, excesive waterconsumption for cattle while there is a growing worlwide watershortage, feeding crops to cattle in a very uneconomic way to make 1 kg of meat from 15 kg of good vegetables, obesity, colon cancer, and other diseases caused by meat consumption, and last but certainly not the least, the extreme inhumane way we treat our animals.
