Cowspiracy - Documentary

The documentary Cowspiracy discusses the large environmental impact of animal agriculture, including its contribution to climate change and depletion of natural resources like water and forests. Some key points made in the documentary are that animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector and uses over 1/3 of the world's fresh water. It also notes that scientists predict fishless oceans by 2048 if trends continue, and that an acre of rainforest is lost every second primarily due to land being cleared for agriculture. The documentary questions why major environmental organizations do not address this issue and suggests a plant-based diet could sustain more people.
