Description: Climate change is in fact affecting diverse communities globally, in different dimensions. One of such is the sources of energy used at home, powering electronic & industrial machines, as fossil fuel, etc. In order for us to have a habitable environment if not a better one, everyone—government, corporate entities, communities, rich and poor—must all stand up to support the switch to renewable energy.

Description: No organism is 100% efficient. Of the energy taken in by crop plants, only 1-10% is converted to edible food, and cows may convert only 1-10% of food energy into edible food. The United Nations says meat and dairy production account for 18 per cent of greenhouse gases – more than the world's entire transport system – and the amount of carbon saved by turning vegetarian for a year is equal to switching from a normal car to a hybrid for 12 months according to the Vegan Society in Australia,
