So many good reasons for replacing meat with plant-based food. Fewer antibiotics in the food chain. Less pollution in water systems. Reducing global warming. If the whole world made the switch, it could cut greenhouse gas emissions by 70%.

Biogas is generated when stuff decomposes. Food scraps. Animal waste. Anything biodegradable, basically. If collected, waste can be transformed into energy! And Germany is leading the list of european biogas production.

Much more oil is moving around the world. But far less of it is escaping into our oceans and contaminating marine ecosystems. That means fewer long term effects on our environments and economies.
