Eating Our Way to Extinction

Fun facts from this documentary:

• Nestlé said in a 2009 report that the world will run out of fresh water by 2050.

• An estimated 18 million acres of forest are lost each year.

• By 2030 only 10% of all forests will remain.

• Since 1970 we have wiped out over 60% of animal populations on the planet.

• Over 26,000 species are currently being threatened with extinction.

• By 2045 the species loss will be so great the Earth will suffer ecological collapse.

• Over 75% of antibiotics produced around the world are being given to livestock.

• 30% of all fresh water use in the world is used for producing animal products.

A well-made, informative, important and eye-opening documentary that covers it all: burning rainforests, animal agriculture, microplastics in our ocean, extreme weather events, food shortages, and how we are currently in the sixth mass extinction event. Makes some very strong arguments that we should all be working towards plant based diets as soon as possible.
