Well, I don’t know what you’re having for your lunch? If you are here in China, it’s lunch time.
But going vegetarian can be part of a low-carbon life. Giving up meat in China has only become a trendy way of life in the past decade. But it’s now catching on for a bigger reason. Today, in our ‘My Low Carbon Life’ series, Wang Mangmang finds out why people believe they can make a difference.
Look, smell, and taste. A vegetarian diet does not mean deprivation. But still, there needs to be a reason. Religious beliefs, health, animal protection, and saving the planet. This is why Lu Shi has been a strict vegetarian for thirteen years.
Statistics from the United Nations show that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined. Being a vegetarian can help reduce emissions of one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year.
