Eating less meat reduces the number of animals that need to be raised on farms for meat. Raising fewer animals for meat consumption leads to lower amounts of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. As a result, it can help slow global warming. Research shows that raising meat for food on factory farms is the number one cause of global warming in the United States. The same research shows that last year alone, over 50% of the harmful greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere were from raising animals for meat consumption. No other industry causes such high levels of greenhouse gases each year.
