CT302 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Amazon Watch, Cowspiracy, Greenpeace
Document Summary
Land based animal agriculture needs to be discussed. Almost all oceans and fisheries are under siege. 2048: fishless oceans if we continue our ways. For every 1 pound of fish caught, there"s 5 pounds of nothing we want, most common fishing process. Leading cause of rainforest: amazon watch: many drivers. Sister dorothy sing: gunned down by a hit man from the cattle industry. We need to ban fishing the way we do it, to save sharks. Oceania: we need to eat more fish to save the fish. The only other area that is dying at the same fast rate is the rainforest. Most don"t recognize agriculture: all focus on mining and oil/coal. Over 1,100 activists have been killed in brazil. Grass-fed ranch visited, 1 cow and a calf per 10 acres. Grass fed is even more unsustainable than factory produced. Dairy is unsustainable: need to find something else to take its place. Almost 1/3 of the planet is becoming desert.
