WHY PLANT-BASED MATERIAL

By now all of us know that ''The Amazon is the Lungs of the Earth'' It means that the Amazon is home to 200 million cattle - not Logging but cattle. Cattle ranching is the largest driver of Amazon deforestation. 450,000 sq.km. of Brazil rain forest now is pasture, for comparison, Germany is 350,000 sq.km. UK is 240,000 sq.km. It is often said that a piece of a hamburger is a piece of the Amazon. 20% of the Amazon has been destroyed. An area the size of the UK is lost every year, although sometimes are much higher.
