Factories that produce meat fuel climate change. If we cut meat from our diet, or even just cut it in half, it will benefit the world and animals. By reducing the animals, we consume, we can cut down greenhouse gas emissions. “Many experts now believe that eating less meat would actually have a bigger impact.” Cutting your meat diet by half can save many animals lives and maybe even help save this world. When scientists come up with a way to create a genetically-modified cow, it will cut down the methane. If we continue to eat meat, factories will continue to produce gasses that contribute to climate change. Climate change can end this world and we don't want that to happen.]]> 2022-01-06 17:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979187740 S.D https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979192141 I will pick meat because meat is the best and some facts about meat are Meat and poultry are great sources of protein. They also provide lots of other nutrients your body needs, like iodine, iron, zinc, vitamins (especially B12) and essential fatty acids. So it's a good idea to eat meat and poultry every week as part of your balanced diet according to meat and poiltry. ]]> 2022-01-06 17:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979192141 B.B https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979197487 Question- if you had to make a choice, which of your consumables would you choose to have decreased by half- fossil fuels or meats?

I would choose fossil fuels. 
Although fossil fuels help us develop we can’t make fossil fuels to develop without energy. 
Energy comes from proteins and other stuff that we get with eating and fossil fuels cause pollution which effects the animals to get illnesses or even die.
so I think decreasing fossil fuels would definitely be the choice. 
In conclusion I would decrease fossil fuels by half. ]]> 2022-01-06 17:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979197487 AS https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979207457 If I had to make the choice to pick which consumables would decrease fossil fuels and meats are humans because they eat lots of meats.  Besides,  they make a lot of fossil fuels that causes polution into the atmosphere.   Furthermore, humans use natural gas used in fertilizers, and coal tars used in skin treatment products. This is why humans decease half of fossil fuels and meat.]]> 2022-01-06 17:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979207457 J.G https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979207553 Decrease the amount of meats? or decrease the amount of fossil fuels? Personally, I think that fossil fuels should be decreased rather than meats. I think this because fossil fuels produce around 65% of our pollution. But greenhouse gases only produce around 35% of our pollution. not only that, but if we lower the population of livestock (cows) than that means a lower food stock for humans, leading to more deaths from starvation. but if we lower fossil fuel use we will have less needs like: transportation and housing, but decreasing fossil fuels is a safer option because there is a higher chance that more people will live with less fossil fuels other than decreasing livestock, sadly. more people will become homeless and less fortunate but people will have a better chance from living from that instead of less food. In conclusion I believe that fossil fuel use should be reduced rather than livestock.]]> 2022-01-06 17:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979207553 BW https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979210241 If I had to make the choice to decrease either meats or fossil fuels by half, I would choose fossil fuels.   The reason I would choose this is because one person decreasing their meat consumption would have little impact on the environment it would need to be a global change. Since meat consumption is a smaller factor in climate change than many assume, we cannot save the environment only by eating less meat. Blaming meat for climate change is easy and distracts from the more significant climate change problems. The burning of fossil fuels versus the livestock production of methane gas is a bigger contributor to the greenhouse effect. ]]> 2022-01-06 17:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979210241 R.J https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979355526 If I had to make the choice of which consumable I would like to decrease half off, it would be both. This is because if I, for example want to decrease and make meat half off, so less cows can die, then there would be fossil fuels which are also dangerous for wildlife. I would also say both because both of these consumables, affect our wildlife. Actually, I would mainly go for and decrease meat. Not just because of cows and other animals dying, but also because meat produces the most greenhouse gases in our environment. If you don't know what a greenhouse gas is, it is a gas that absorbs radiant energy, carbon dioxide and more. Also, meat can have a major affect on wildlife and humans as well. Especially red meat, because it can cause many diseases and illnesses. Overall, I would my choice would be to decrease meat around the world because it has more cons on us and the environment. ]]> 2022-01-06 19:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1979355526 R.R https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980698354 I would choose fossil fuels because at the bottom of the article it said that eating less meat might have a bigger impact on climate change. I don't really know if that's is a good or bad thing in the text but for this I'm going to assume that its a bad thing. They said that the greenhouse gases that are causing climate change are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide and some other greenhouse gases. This is where my answer of cutting fossil fuels come in . It also says in the article that when fossil fuels are burned the carbon dioxide and other GhG's are released into the atmosphere. Which makes our earth warmer. I got all my information from the article.]]> 2022-01-07 15:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980698354 G.T https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980727346 we can stop is by containing the gases. how we can contain these gases. By put it in a facility that is well monitored. I think this will stop global warming. ]]> 2022-01-07 15:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980727346 E.s https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980731349 In a perfect world I do both but to choose one I would reduce meat consumption by 50%. In the article Cows, Methane, and Climate Change by lets talk science states, "Although carbon dioxide is much more abundant in the atmosphere than methane, methane traps roughly 30 times more heat than carbon dioxide. This makes methane an important gas to keep an eye on. /.../ 40% of methane is from agriculture." This shows that we should lower meats by 50% because cows traps more heat in the earths atmosphere then carbon dioxide. The more the earth heats up the more chance of the earths ecosystems get destroyed and the species in them get extinct which can lead to the world getting extinct. As you can see we should reduce 50% in meat consumption.

If we reduce the amount of coal and gases we use we can lower that percentage and have less methane in the world. Methane also comes from cows and scientists are figuring pout how to fed cows differently so they wont produce as much methane. If I had to chose I would chose to reduce the amount of stuff I use in my house like paper, pencils, and water.]]> 2022-01-07 15:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980748360 K.B If you had to make the choice, which of your consumables would you choose to have decreased by half - fossil fuels or meats? https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980751475 If I had to make a choose it would be fossil fuels but it would also be good to lower meats because cows pollute a lot too threw burps and a little threw farts. But I would choose fossil fuels because It affects winter a lot more and pollutes a lot more. Also fossil fuels can warm the planet to create a lot wild fires for really hot areas and country's like Australia. ]]> 2022-01-07 15:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980751475 J. S-Z https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980754275 I would pick the meat because first off, meats are great for protein and great for nutrition and much more. Second fossil fumes can hurt animals and can be very dangerous, as well when fossil fules are burned it releases toxins and carbon dioxide into the air, this causes polution and can damage the air and world. I know this because in the text it explains how carbon dioxide is bad and fossil fules are mainly that.]]> 2022-01-07 15:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980754275 M.G galeamy974 https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980762602 If i had a choice, i would chose meats. Why? because meat comes from all sorts of animals and i know we have to eat but at least decrease the times we do kill animals for no reason. it isn't helping them and i want to help them they do not deserve being killed for being used for something not important.]]> 2022-01-07 16:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980762602 A.G https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980813659 question of the day: which of your consumables would you choose to have decreased by half - fossil fuels or meats?

I think that i would prefer fossil fuels to get decreased by half. Fossil fuels are having a big part in why global warming is so bad and why its destroying our planet slowly so if we keep burning fossil fuels global warming isn't going to get better. Reducing our cows/meat down by half would be a very bad mistake. first it would make our food recourse's very limited very quickly. secondly the impact on the enviroment is very little with cows/ farm animals. That's why i think that we should cut down fossil fuels instead of our meat.]]> 2022-01-07 16:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1980813659 G.D. https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1982746108 I would decrease fossil fuels by half. They cause numerous amounts of problems like pollution, in our waters and air. By cutting down the amount of fossil fuels produced, less people will develop deseases and cancers, and our plants and trees will livbe longer. Banning stuff such as coal mining and oil drilling, will decreas the amount of pollution we have now. This is why I think we should decrese the amount of fossil fuels and help our planet.]]> 2022-01-09 23:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1982746108 Doing my part to decrease fossil fuels https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1982818260 I would cut the amount of dairy I eat in half.  This would help because then my parents would not be buying as much dairy foods.  By people not eating as much dairy then farmers will not need as many dairy cows.   Dairy cow are plant eaters that procedure methane. Methane traps 30% more heat then carbon dioxide.

The fossil fuels do help us with are electricity but we can have other ways to get light and power for are house. Like sunlight and candles is other way to get light. I would choose to decrease fossil fuels instead of meat because fossil fuels has been putting carbon dioxide into the fresh air ruining all the wild life and making it harder for us to breath. So decreasing it would be way more better for us. If we decided to decrease meats more animals would be alive but we would have less food and there would be less ways to get protein. This is why I would decrease fossil fuels instead of meat.]]> 2022-01-10 02:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1982904485 J.S https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1984336153 Ether cut off the amount of meats or decrease the fossil fuels? personally i would decrease the fossil fuels because it causes pollution that affects animals to die. And if we decreased the meats of the cows we would have a lower food stock and we need the food to live. It would be a better option because there is a more likley higher chance of people surviving if we decrease fossil fuels, in conclusion i would decrease fossil fuels by half.]]> 2022-01-10 17:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fallisr1/hln1nkztqp233wkf/wish/1984336153
