Sector by sector - poultry, fish, beef, pork, dairy and leather - the book lays out how the industry is damaging our planet. How animal agriculture fuels global warming, destroys ecosystems, and pollutes our air, water, and soil. The case is made, with hard evidence, that going vegan is the single most powerful action any one of us can take to slow - or even help stop - the climate crisis.
Urgent, accessible, and unflinching, Going Vegan to Save the Planet connects the dots between diet and survival, showing how our everyday choices can reshape the future.
