Eat less Meat

The best way to reduce your carbon footprint is to eat meat-free more often. The meat industry is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses and is responsible for a lot of deforestation in the Amazon. Not only that, animals are often given hormones to make them grow faster (so you can have your steak faster and cheaper). According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), since the 1950s, they have approved some steroid hormone drugs for use in beef cattle and sheep. These include natural estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and their synthetic versions. These drugs increase the animals’ growth rate and the efficiency by which they convert the feed they eat into meat.
