http://SupremeMasterTV.com - Mr. Joop Oude Lohuis – Team Manager, Climate and Global Sustainability unit, Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency: We are now at the point that science has more and better numbers on the effect of changing our diet and eating less meat. <br /><br />A study by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency found that global dietary change would reduce the cost of mitigating global warming. <br /><br />The cost to lower atmospheric greenhouse gas levels: US$40 trillion by 2050. <br /><br />• A global shift to a low-meat diet could save 50% of total mitigation cost. <br /><br />• A global shift to a meat-free diet could save 70% of total cost. <br /><br />• A global shift to an animal-free vegan diet would save climate mitigation costs by more than 80%. <br /><br />Dr. Joop Oude Lohuis: That is a substantial cost reduction in getting to the same climate targets. <br /><br />Not only governments, but individuals save too. <br /><br />Mr. Joop Oude Lohuis: It’s a lot cheaper than buying photovoltaic cells
