After a lot of research, documentation, conversations and the survey. I learned a lot and was able to educate other people about the dangers and disadvantages of meat consumption. It's important to be careful with your consumption and be open to alternatives. Because if nothing changes in the future, we will be heavily burdened with excessive consumption.

I was also able to comment on my question regarding health and the changes in the environment. And build up a great deal of knowledge. However, it was quite frightening when you really delve into this topic. Because I don't think many people are aware of how they can damage their health.
One thing to remember: The dose makes the poison

On 10 January I had a short phone call with my friend who answered many questions about the health effects of meat consumption. He is not a vegetarian himself, but he is aware of the need to be careful with meat consumption. Here are the questions from the interview with my friend Levin. The answers will be added in the post...
- What diseases are supported by meat consumption?
- Can the predominant consumption of meat lead to fatal consequences?
- Does it depend on what kind of meat is consumed? Are there healthier types of meat?
- What does meat contain that is harmful to us?
- Would organic meat be another option or have the same effect?
In my project I am investigating the idea of a vegetarian society. The focus is on two themes.
The changes in health without meat consumption, for this I will conduct a short interview with a well-known person who has trained in health care.
In the second point we look at the changes in the environment. For this I will start a survey to illustrate that there is a great lack of knowledge in society about meat consumption and our environment and whether they would be willing to live more sustainably.

This mass consumption is not without "side effects". In this project, I would like to explain the effects of meat consumption. Since meat consumption has a big impact on our environment. The aim is to show that if we stop consuming meat, our environment will improve. The factors of meat production and consumption have a strong influence on this. Which factors play a role in this?
We want to increase the appreciation of meat as a food again. Ultimately, this also raises the question: how much and what kind of meat needs to be produced? We always talk about the quantity consumed, but let's also talk about the added value. If the consumer wants a piece of meat from an animal that has been kept in an animal-friendly manner, that eats domestic feed and is kept in such a way that it remains healthy with as little medication as possible, then that has its price. Appreciation then means that the consumer is willing to pay for this careful and sustainable treatment. If the industry can realise this price, it will also be able to cope if the population does not eat meat every day.
The comparison between plastic and glass bottles
Plastic bottles have the edge in transport thanks to their lighter weight. However, glass bottles can be refilled more often than plastic bottles. So both are in a neck-and-neck race here. Green glass bottles are particularly environmentally friendly because they consist of up to 90 per cent recycled material. With white glass, the figure is only 60 per cent. The PET bottle comes off worst in terms of recycling, with 30 per cent recycled per bottle. However, there is still eco-potential here: the recycling share could be increased to up to 50 per cent.
The stumbling block in the eco-balance of the glass bottle is its production: the energy required to melt glass is very high, but the bottle can be reused up to fifty times. The PET bottle requires less energy to produce, but can only be refilled 25 times..jpg)
By the way: If a bottle breaks, it should still be returned. The material can still be recycled.
In the end, the difference between glass and plastic is hardly worth mentioning! The important thing is: the main thing is reusable!

Question:
This is what would happen if we all stopped eating meat immediately?
Introduction
Our food accounts for one third of the environmental impact of consumption in Europe. Production accounts for the lion's share: packaging, transport, storage, preparation and disposal are generally much less significant. Animal husbandry is particularly harmful to the environment: it is very resource-intensive and causes significantly more greenhouse gas emissions than the cultivation of plant-based foods
Topics:
- Our world now with meat consumption
- Effect on our health without it
- Impact on our life togehter
- How does it change nature
What are the two guiding questions of my project?
Could the world function without meat consumption and would our society be willing to do so?

Shortly before the start of the UN Climate Change Conference COP26, Brazil's internationally pressured government has promised measures to preserve the Amazon.
According to Vice President Hamilton Mourão, the Brazilian delegation will announce at the COP that it will end illegal deforestation of the Amazon rainforest by 2027 or 2028. President Jair Bolsonaro had still mentioned 2030 as a target at US President Joe Biden's climate summit in April. "I think a more ambitious target would be very welcome by the international community," Mourão said at a press conference on Monday (local time).
