I want to live in a healthy world without the issues of climate change, but also to help make a difference for our society and futures. By reducing our meat consumption we can effectively combat climate change, as the meat industry is responsible for significant greenhouse gas emissions. By adopting Meatless Mondays, we can collectively reduce our carbon footprint and promote healthier eating habits.

Furthermore, stricter regulations on the meat industry are crucial. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), livestock production contributes nearly 4% of all greenhouse gases in the United States. Implementing tougher laws will ensure better practices that protect both our environment and public health.

This could also result into helping us gain a larger variety in our school cafeteria menus if also enforced into schools. This will help provide a larger portion of students to have school lunch. Such as a close friend of mine whose religion doesn’t allow her to eat certain proteins and meats. If my own school were to provide more plant-based protein or plant/tofu options, my friend would be able to enjoy school lunch and not have to be worried on if she is disobeying her religion.
