First update from my life: Weather sunny and cool on Monday...I watched my weather forecast as the snowflakes disappeared from it's continued hopes last night. Nada. Maybe a few but the ground was too warm, so nothing but a bit of moisture.
The apartment inspection went well, and my friend texted to cancel our date later in the week because she has a sick granddaughter to care for. Those things happened at the exact same time. I just sat and let the manager look all over the kitchen (where I'd recently dragged a wet rag across the worst offenders in the refrigerator...it could well have still been wet!) I managed to finish my book and vacuum yesterday, and this morning finished doing the dishes. I scooted some laundry baskets away from under the air handler, since we're not suppose to have anything there. So I passed.
And I texted my friend who had no idea what I was talking about "they were here" etc...until I mentioned the inspection. So we celebrated by going to Ole's Guacamole for lunch, and I brought home half my food to add to dinner tonight.
HERE's the information I wanted to share with you!
Veganism
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization has said that animal agriculture contributes as much damaging greenhouse gases as the direct emissions from every car, truck, train, and plane on the planet.
How can that be? Well, there are many steps in the process to bring animal products from farm to table, and they all produce greenhouse gases.
Time is running out. Global greenhouse gas emissions must fall by about half by 2030 to meet the internationally agreed target of 1.5C of heating, but emissions are still rising.
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has singled out meat-eating for a key piece of blame. Research from 2020 found that methane levels were the highest on record, driven by livestock farming and fossil fuels. Methane is 28 times more powerful than CO2 at trapping heat.
Will eating vegan make a difference? Researchers from the University of Oxford reckon it will. In 2019 they said that veganism is the single biggest way to reduce our impact on the planet.
