“Why a Plant Based Diet is important to the planet and all of us.”
Presentation by Armaiti May, DVM and Dhun May to the Sierra Club at Burton Chace Park Community Room on February 21, 2017.
==================================================
Every second, 1-2 acres of Rainforest are destroyed, and animal agriculture is responsible for 91% of the destruction of the Amazon. The meat and dairy industries use one third of Earth's fresh water resources. Every single day, 110 animal and insect species are lost from rainforest destruction. To feed one vegan per year takes 1/6th of an acre but 18 times as much land is required to feed a meat-eater. For every one-pound of fish caught, five pounds of unintended marine species are caught and discarded as by-kill. 90 million tons of fish are pulled from the ocean each year, and currently 3/4 of fisheries worldwide have been exploited. At this rate, scientists predict that our oceans will be devoid of fishes by the year 2048. The time to change our diets is now. A plant-based diet can do more to save our planet's precious dwindling resources and fight pollution more than any other measure.

Armaiti May, DVM is a practicing small animal veterinarian and vegan advocate.
