Review Praise for "The Sustainability Secret" If you care about the future of all life on this planet, start here. "The SustainabilitySecret" should be a wake-up call for anyone concerned about sustainability; we simplycannot ignore the devastating environmental impact of our diet any longer. The goodnewsyes, there is good newsis that we make a difference at every meal.

Will Anderson, author of "This is Hope: Green Vegans and the New Human Ecology" "The Sustainability Secret" vividly exposes the single largest contributing factor toour demise and that of other species, which is the consumption of animals andthe supportive animal agricultural systems, and then provides a pathway toward ahealthier, more peaceful and just planet by re-connecting us to the stark realities offood choice and sustainability, urging all of us to act, and to do so now.

Julieanna Hever, author and dietitian" Long Description The groundbreaking 2014 documentary Cowspiracy presents shocking truths about the effects of industrial animal agriculture on the planet. The leading cause of deforestation, rainforest destruction, greenhouse gas production, water consumption and pollution, habitat loss, species extinction, ocean dead-zones, topsoil erosion, and a host of other environmental ills, animal agriculture is the biggest issue facing the planet today and one of the most controversial environmental secrets in the world of conservation. Filled with anecdotes, statistics, research, interviews with the filmmakers and contributors, and unabridged transcripts from the film, this companion book supplements and expands upon the documentary in every way. With all this and more, The Sustainability Secret reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact large-scale factory farming has on our planet and offers a path to global sustainability for a growing population. Review Quote Press for Cowspiracy Cowspiracy may be the most important film made to inspire saving the planet. Excerpt from Book To feed a person on an all plant-based vegan diet for one year requires just one-sixth of an acre of land. To feed that same person on a vegetarian diet that includes eggs and dairy requires three times as much land. To feed a person on the average diet eaten by an American citizen, with high consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs, requires eighteen times as much land. This is because you can produce 37,000 pounds of vegetables on one and a half acres, but only 375 pounds of meat on that same plot of land. The comparison doesnt end with land use. A vegan diet produces half as much carbon dioxide as an American omnivore, uses 1/11 the amount of fossil fuels, 1/13 the amount of water, and 1/18 the amount of land. After adding all this up, I realized I had the choice--every single day--to save: Over 1,100 gallons of water 45 pounds of grain 30 square feet of forested land The equivalent of 20 pounds of carbon dioxide And one animals life. Every. Single. Day.
