These are dramatic figures: If we do not reduce our meat consumption,
it will cost us US$ 20 000 000 000 000 by the year 2050!!
That's the conclusion of a study by Elke Stehfest and colleagues of
the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, see

$20 trillion or $20000 billion, this is the share of the costs of
fighting the consequences of global warming that we could save by
reducing meat consumption globally - or pay the price! With the
current economic crisis in mind, we simply cannot afford to ignore
this situation. Let's contribute to a change in our diets, away from
animal products, away from livestock, let's explore alternatives!
