As you may have seen, signs of climate change are everywhere: record numbers of heatwaves, droughts, typhoons, and hurricanes. Our ecosystems are threatened, and we are in a planetary crisis.

Surging greenhouse gases from energy, agriculture, and industrial sectors are the key drivers of climate change. Carbon dioxide catches the worldโ€™s attention as it accounts for three-fourths of global greenhouse gas emissions.

While there are encouraging developments to slash our carbon footprint, they are often time-consuming, complicated, and expensive, and thus more or less suitable for climate change long-term solutions.

There is a simpler, more effective, and immediate solution: to tackle methane. This is the second-largest greenhouse gas and is responsible for 40% of global warming since the industrial revolution. It is likewise much more potent than carbon dioxide, but lasts for a much shorter time in the atmosphere.

The majority of methane comes from agricultural activities, particularly the farming of livestock and fish. Besides, its end products such as meat, eggs, and dairy are also associated with huge nitrous oxide emissions.

Hence, our solution is simple: by switching to a plant-based diet, we can immediately save the Earth. There are so many healthy, cost-effective, and sustainable plant-based options out there. Everyone can have the power to be our own heroes for this magnificent planet!

By wisely selecting this great lifestyle, you will not only cut more than 90% of greenhouse gas emissions, but also preserve so much water, land, and energy! These precious resources can be for other uses, such as planting trees to absorb more greenhouse gases, or building solar/wind farms to replace polluted fossil-fuel plants.

There are many other awesome benefits of a plant-based diet, but I will leave them for your own curiosity and self-exploration.

Deep down, I am 3,000% sure that by switching to vegan, you will be much happier, knowing that this small action is the greatest choice that you have ever made, not only for our beautiful planet, but also for your personal gain, for the sake of innumerable loving animal-people, as well as for our countless future generations.
