Is being vegan better for the environment?

Over the last couple of years the number of people using the plant-based diet or the vegan diet has increased quite a bit and for a couple different of reasons. Is being a vegan better for the environment? it does save some animals but we don't need everyone going vegan. The vegan industry is expected to hit one billion dollars by 2020 and 600% increase of vegan eaters in the last 10 years. Being vegan can be quite expensive and if we did all turned vegan it would not be good with the demand of meat going down and the price of vegan food would be going up.

My Response is it will help our environment to a certain extent, no I do not think that everyone should go vegan but if you don't meats or want to lose weight here is a solution for you.

    I think that the vegan lifestyle is a great lifestyle for some, but as said in the summary, vegan food is expensive and therefore it is not always the most logical and reasonable alternative. However, if one can afford the lifestyle, go for it!

    I think that it is very important that not everybody goes vegan. The last sentence of your summary is very true, if everybody was to go vegan then the supply and demand for vegan foods and non-vegan foods would be extremely off balance.

    If everybody went vegan then there would be a lot of animals that keep reproducing but not getting killed because nobody needs their resources. I think it is good for some people to be vegan but we still need to have people that are not vegan because with all the animals they need to eat so if they eat plants and keep reproducing the environment will be in trouble.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
