10. But our work is far from done
But our work is far from done. Humans are behind the current rate of species extinction, which is at least 100–1,000 times higher than nature intended.

13. The causes for the crisis are described in the following books.

14. Nr.01 Meat consumption
Carbon footprint

15. Water footprint

16. Meat Consumption and Cancer Risk
The World Health Organization has determined that dietary factors account for at least 30 percent of all cancers in Western countries and up to 20 percent in developing countries. When cancer researchers started to search for links between diet and cancer, one of the most noticeable findings was that people who avoided meat were much less likely to develop the disease. Large studies in England and Germany showed that vegetarians were about 40 percent less likely to develop cancer compared to meat eaters.1-3
