🌱 😲 Switching To Plant Protein Could Remove

$🌱 😲 Switching To Plant Protein Could Remove MORE THAN A DECADE (❗️) Of Emissions⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💡 A new study has shown that plant protein such as lentils, beans and nuts can provide all the important nutrients we require while using a fraction of the land currently occupied by animal agriculture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💡 The paper also found that vegetation regrowth as a result of a plant-based shift would effectively double the Earth’s carbon budget, which is currently shrinking at a rapid rate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💡 Currently, the area required to produce meat and dairy uses up 83% of the world’s agricultural land – land that could be freed up for ecosystems to regrow and offset our carbon emissions in the process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💡 While some have looked to tech-forward solutions such as carbon capture technology to solve our climate crisis, the researchers argue that their findings prove that immediate action can be done with major impacts to help alleviate our environmental footprint. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💡 Moreover, reduced meat production would also mean helping improve water stress, wildlife habitat and protect biodiversity, all of which helps reduce the risks of future pandemics. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What can we say, all of this information is mindblowing... And the solution? One could claim, from all the solutions that can be proposed to save our planet, this is one of the easier ones!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #plantbased #meatfree #vegan #plantbasedliving #carbonemissions #climateweek #coveringclimatenow #ccnow #climateweek2020 #actonclimate #globalclimate #bethechange #motherearth #sustainablelifestyle #ecoliving #sustainableliving #sustainability #zerowaste #ecofriendly #recycle #reducereuserecycle #circulareconomy #environment #cleanenergy #climatechange #climatejustice #climateaction #climatecrisis #climateemergency$

CLIMATE INEQUALITY - By Jennifer Chua @chuabone⠀

CLIMATE INEQUALITY - By Jennifer Chua @chuabone⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--------------------------⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As the forest fires rage on again in California, I can’t help but think that the consequences of climate change have vastly different impacts on our lives.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As someone who grew up in a third world country, I know that while we all play a role in destroying the planet, the poor are the ones who lose the most.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We may all be experiencing natural calamities but we’re not all in the same boat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This illustration depicts that when calamity strikes, the wealthy can cling on to their multiple houses and their gated communities, while the economically disenfranchised are the ones who lose everything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌍🌡 Yep, there isn't enough talk about climate. Or maybe there is enough but it is not sinking into everyone's mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's is why the world is celebrating #ClimateWeek2020 THIS WEEK. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Expect more topics on environmental issues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An opportunity to go deeper into the knowledge, the science, the numbers, the worst-case-scenario but also the hopes, the solutions, the people working and fighting for a future where we can still be outside, breathe fresh air and resist sun rays. A world where wild animals roam free and are not driven to extinction. A world where citizens don't need to leave their homes because water and nutritious soil are long gone in their community.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's dive in together. Shall we?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This week, I'm pondering: DO I HAVE ECOLOGICAL GRI

This week, I'm pondering: DO I HAVE ECOLOGICAL GRIEF? #LetterFromTheEditor by Green Queen Sonalie Figueiras.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The constant climate crisis news cycle is getting to me. Lately I will be going about my day and suddenly feel unexplainably angry, with overwhelming feelings of "how can we be doing this?". Not to mention that I feel guilty all the time: how can I lessen my waste more? Could my choices be more conscious? And then at night, before I go to sleep, I feel hopeless and confused: what more can I do? How to move the dial? How to get others to care? It's been a few years that I've had these feelings if I am honest. But it's only recently that I realised that these feelings have a name. I've been reading up on ecological grief and pardon for the self-diagnosis but I am pretty sure I have it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Turns out, I am not alone. People all over the world are experiencing everything from eco-anxiety to imminania, a term that describes the powerful feeling of sorrow for what is to happen in the future. Read more about this in Isaias Hernandez's excellent post here @queerbrownvegan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been researching ways to combat my symptoms and feelings. And what I have found fascinating is that one of the reasons we are having trouble dealing with all of this is that we have forgotten/dismissed indigenous wisdom and traditional belief systems that for hundreds of years helped to define and determine our relationship to nature. On Saturday, I watched an incredible film about a man and the octopus he befriends (scroll down for my thoughts about it) and I felt sure to my core that the cure for my grief lies in connecting further and deeper with the natural world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

NEARLY 60% OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ARE NOW TRANSITI

NEARLY 60% OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ARE NOW TRANSITIONING TO A FLEXITARIAN OR PLANT-BASED DIET⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
60%⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The research also found that over half of Americans are now consuming fewer animal products since the coronavirus pandemic began. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Health was the top reason cited for making the shift towards a more flexitarian, semi-vegetarian or plant-based diet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to the analysts, the results dispels the idea that plant-based alternatives today are not widely available or not as tasty, representing the significant progress that plant-based food techs have made in recent years.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those of you who recently made the switch or thinking about reducing animal products, what made you question your choices? Why this year? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

BE THE CHANGE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ By Jennif

BE THE CHANGE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By Jennifer Chua @chuabone⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--------------------------⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week’s illustration is about being an inspiration to people. I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from my friends about how they’ve tried to make changes towards a more sustainable lifestyle because they were inspired by the efforts that I've put in. The illustration depicts three different scenarios where we can apply a waste-free lifestyle. The first is a lady bringing her own food container for a takeaway, and as she moves on to the bulk store and the 2nd hand clothes shop, more people join her. The idea is to show the influence that we can have when we try to be better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
