Get a plant-based Diet

While it is quite natural to want meat, switching to a plant-based diet works wonders for nature. Not only can you grow some of your foods without the use of heavy chemicals as many food-growing industries. Besides, you reduce your contribution to environmental problems which according to the UN report, “Livestock’s Long Shadow-Environmental Issues and Options,” livestock is among the top contributors to environmental problems due to release of greenhouse gas.
