Nowadays, veganism is a much talked about topic. In addition, it's quite related to the environment. Veganism does not only consist of stopping eating animal products to feed oneself, but it is also the abstention from the use of animal products and services, whether for food, clothing, medicine, cosmetics, transportation, experimentation... If the majority of the world's population adopted this lifestyle, many things would improve, among them animal exploitation would be reduced and climate change would be slowed down. But... what does the vegan lifestyle have to do with climate change?

Veganism is a topic widely discussed from the traditional way, but actually vegans get all the nutrients their body needs, without the need to consume meat. Furthermore, veganism is directly related to the opposition to animal abuse and, as we all know, the factories that work with animals emit gases through their chimneys that are part of the problem connected with the greenhouse effect. Moreover, the greenhouse effect is something very serious and dangerous, as it is one of the main causes of climate change, which affects us all.

To try to reduce the amount of gases that these chimneys emit new technologies are inventing new machines and there are currently many projects in progress on this. However, instead of waiting for other people to solve this problem, we can all try to collaborate. "We do not expect everybody to become vegan. But the impact of the food system on the climate change will require more than just technological changes. Adopting healthier and more environmentally sustainable diets can be a large stop in the right direction" according to many experts.

In short, veganism is an environmentally friendly lifestyle that is highly recommended. Nevertheless, no one is forced to be a vegan. From my point of view, even if you don't want to be a vegan, we should all try to reduce our meat consumption as much as possible and of course not support companies that test their products on animals or make clothes or accessories from them.
