We all know 2020 has been quite a crazy unusual year.  The world is changing in both good and bad ways.  The climate crisis needs to be the #1 priority for the whole world to address.  No longer can we go on as we have been and pretending it is a hoax.  We are in the cusp of the sixth mass extinction, where we are losing 150-200 species of  plants, insects, birds and mammals to extinction every 24 hours. Our dependence on fossil fuels and unsustainable animal agriculture practice has got to stop.  We can grow enough grain to feed 70 billion animals but not enough for 7 billion people?  We have been told to use more efficient light bulbs, take shorter showers, etc.   It takes 2400 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat.  Only 25 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of wheat.   You can save more water by not eating a pound of meat than you can by not taking a shower for 6 months!
