Even if you only eat organic food, and the cows from which the meat is made lived like heaven, they are still one of the causes of environmental degradation. Because of the expansion of the livestock industry, the level of methane in the atmosphere, which sheep, cows and pigs emit the most, rises every year. But that doesn’t mean you should eliminate meat altogether. Think about how many times a week you eat meat products? Many people eat them almost every day, and scientists have found that meat should be eaten no more than twice a week. If everyone started eating right, there would be a significant reduction in livestock farming and an improvement in the environment.

Among the most dangerous industries in the food industry is the fishing industry. Imagine how much fuel ships waste to catch fish. The most ‘unecological’ types of seafood are shrimp, lobsters and other delicacies, as ships spend much more time and fuel to catch them than to simply catch fish. The most ‘environmentally friendly’ seafood are sardines and sprats, as well as oysters.
