Planting greens is the ultimate solution
At the end of December 2014, I was texting my friend and complaining how it was very warm that night. As it usually doesn’t get warm at night back in my home country, the heat we experienced that day astonished us. While we kept complaining, I suddenly found a French article stating that 2014 has won the record of the warmest year.

Through these mindsets, he strongly believes that it is not late to do something about global warming. To support Pollan’s essay, I found “What’s on your plate?”, a professional article by Dr. Deb Teachout who is a permanent staff member of the Pulaski Animal Hospital. In her article, she provides arguments that back up Pollan. She clearly explains how meat consumption is the origin of wildlife extension and how its production is the source
