How to be Greener ? Consume Greener ! (Green mode (Ethical, Local, Organic…

- - - - 51% of global greenhouse emissions are due to livestock and their byproducts
      - Livestock is responsible for 65% of nitrous oxide emissions, a green house gas 296 more destructive than C02
    - - The meet and dairy industry use 1/3 of earths fresh water. The production of a single hamburger requires 3000L of fresh water, equivalent to 2 months of shower for one person
      - In the US only, 3,2 million kilogrammes of excrement are produced by animals raised for food, every minute. These excrements end up in fresh water ressources, causing the acidification and eutrophisation of ecosystems, and the development of ocean dead zones.
    - - Animal agriculture is responsible for 91% of Amazon deforestation, and the loss of 550 billions m2 of rainforest worldwide, palm oil represents 105 billion of m2.
      - 1,5 hectares of land can produce 170 kg of meat, or 16783 kg of plant based food. You can feed a vegan for a year with 674m2. you need 18x more land for a meat eater
    - - Animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction through habitat destruction and water pollution
      - 110 animals and insect species are lost every day from rainforest destruction
      - 3/4 of the world's fisheries are exploited. For 1 kg of fish caught, 5kg of unintended marine species are caught and discarded as by-kill
  - - - From their matière première (derivated of oil) to their transformation (heavy chemical processes) and release, Pesticides and Fertilizers are responsible for X tonnes of CO2 and BLA per year.
    - - Chemicals present in fertilizers and chemicals "wash" the soil from its nutrients its biodiversity of micro-organisms
      - Heavy machinery used in "conventional" agriculture condense and break the structure of the soil
    - - Pollinators and insects are particularly sensitive to chemicals presents in conventional crops : decline of X% over the past 20 years
      - Monocultures do not provide the food and habitats necessary for wildlife to grow and survive : systems are weakened by this uniformity
    - - Reduce the amount of plastic components in your every day products (toothpastes, shampoos..) that will go feed the plastic continent floating in the ocean and kill marine biodiversity
      - Pesticides and fertilizers used in "conventional" farming find their way to underground water sources and rivers, polluting ecosystems all along the way
  - - - Reduce the X tonnes of CO2 emissions linked with the transport, treatment, storage and transport2 of your goods
