ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINTS
The ecological foot print of a nation is the amount of land needed to supply
all the resources it consumes. The UK would need 120 million hectares of
land to meet its food demand. However the actual agriculture land area of UK
is only 18.6 million hectares. A meat diet is one of the main causes of a
large ecological footprint. If the global population increases to 9-10
billion, we would need 2 or 3 extra earth like planets to sustain western
lifestyles.
STOP CIRCUS SUFFERING
This
is the title of a video released by Animal Defenders International. The video
shows circus animals being kicked, whipped, beaten and punched. Don’t ever go to
circuses which feature animals! Over 200 local authorities have banned animal
circuses from their land. However, such bans can be avoided by circuses renting
land from local landowners or football grounds or similar private land.
