10:10 Climate Campaign: Simple Actions for Real Impact Starting October 10

The 10:10 international climate campaign launches on October 10.

10:10 Goals
Many people overlook how meat production, transport, and consumption drive climate change. Shockingly, global intensive livestock farming releases more greenhouse gases than all cars, trucks, trains, boats, and planes combined.

Forests are cleared on a massive scale for soy and grain to feed animals. Cows produce methane—even more harmful than CO2. Skipping meat one day a week makes a substantial environmental difference.

More ways to help? Walk or cycle to work—it slashes emissions and cuts your heart disease risk versus driving. Choose stairs over the elevator for better health and a greener planet. Double benefits!
