Reflection

Have you ever realized how much a cow farts? A cow's fart emits 1.5 times the amount of greenhouse gas produced by a single automobile in a single year. Due to people's demand for milk and beef, the cattle population - and greenhouse gases - keep increasing, accelerating global warming. As a result, the ocean surface temperature increases even faster, and fish eventually die, much like a balloon that soars into the sky on the power of gas and then vanishes far away. While conducting this research, I was shocked that even an extremely natural physiological phenomenon can have a tremendous impact on the natural ecosystem. As a result, it appears that voluntary and pan-societal efforts are required to reduce meat consumption and increase various forms of vegetarianism.
