Awesome 13-Year-Old Has a Powerful Message for Al Gore About Serving Meat at Live Earth (VIDEO)

Live Earth has become an iconic event for those who want to spread the word about Climate change. Using live music and a fun, festival-like venue to host the event, Al Gore, Kevin Wall, and Pharrell Williams hope to reach an unprecedented number of people and encourage them to act for the planet. While this a wonderful goal, the Live Earth team took a bit of a misstep in planning the event when they chose to serve meat at the venue.

In the past decade, the role that animal agriculture plays in global greenhouse gas emissions has come to the fore. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that livestock production is responsible for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, while other organizations like the Worldwatch Institute have estimated it could be as much as 51 percent. Many agree that livestock production is one of the leading causes of Climate change … but Live Earth doesn’t seem willing to address this pervasive issue, so this 13-year-old activist is taking matters into her own hands and sending them a message.

It is time we all started to think about the negative environmental impact of our food choices and join this young rock star in spreading the word about the consequences of animal agriculture.

We can all make a huge positive difference by choosing to #EatForThePlanet and opt for plant-based foods. Did you know that you can halve your carbon footprint just by leaving meat off your plate? Join our #EatForThePlanet movement to learn more!
