#EatLessMeat Campaign

Tell the world

The #EatLessMeat campaign is a personal commitment to reduce the amount of meat you eat for the betterment of animals, humanity, and the planet.

The Case to #EatLessMeat

As the global human population continues to expand, so does the demand for meat. The rise of emerging economies and the increasing affluence of middle-class populations have led to a surge in meat consumption worldwide. However, meeting this demand has come at a cost to our animals, human health, and the planet. Factory farming prioritizes production efficiency over animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

Factory farming confines farm animals in cramped, stressful conditions that favor high yields but disregard the well-being of animals. The repercussions extend beyond animal welfare to climate change, biodiversity loss, disease outbreaks, and food insecurity. Moreover, the concentration of animals in close quarters increases the likelihood of disease outbreaks and the need for antibiotic use. The excessive use of water and land for feed crops further exacerbates the strain on our ecosystems.

We have the Solution

Take a pause and imagine if the world population commits to reducing the portion of animal protein on their plates. Now, imagine if the world population commits to eating meat from high welfare farms only. Even better, imagine if each human being removes animal protein from their plates altogether. Yes! Together we can save the animals, people, and our planet.
