| McDonalds is one of the biggest culprits here, for sure. Climate change is just a symptom of much bigger problem, and that's ecological overshoot. Climate change, resource depletion, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, overpopulation, soil erosion, and overfishing are all symptoms of ecological overshoot. Animal ag is the leading driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss, pollution and soil erosion. McDonalds is one of the biggest companies driving deforestation worldwide (5th?), in fact 8 out of 13 biggest deforesting companies worldwide are in the meat industry, one way or another. https://earth.org/major-companies-responsible-for-deforestat... Biodiversity conservation: The key is reducing meat consumption https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26231772/ Every year the world loses around 5 million hectares of forest. 95% of this occurs in the tropics. At least three-quarters of this is driven by agriculture – clearing forests to grow crops (upto 80% for animal feed), and raise livestock https://ourworldindata.org/drivers-of-deforestation |
