Vegan Society CEO, Nigel Winter will be giving his hard-hitting "Are your meals costing the earth?" presentation as part of the Green Party Spring Conference 'fringe'. The talk is at Reading Town Hall, on Fri 15th Feb 2008 at 19:00. Day membership of the conference is required to attend.
The environmental impacts of food choices are moving up the Green agenda. This talk focuses on the effect of livestock on land use, biodiversity, water use, and particularly, climate change. The United Nation Food and Agriculture Organisation reported in 2006 that the global livestock industry makes 18% of our climate change impact, compared to only 13.5% for all of transport combined.
