Dr Jane signed open letter to World Bank against factory farming
Read moreFactory farming has led to “extreme cruelty” to billions of animals and is harming our planet. As Dr. Goodall says, “We’re making unsustainable demands on the natural world.” But there’s hope! By embracing more plant-based options, we can restore biodiversity, slow climate change, and build a healthier future for both animals and people.
🍃 Take action today: Reduce your consumption of factory-farmed products, opt for plant-based choices where possible, and support farms that prioritize sustainability.
"Choosing to eat differently does not have to be a radical change" says Jane. Even small changes — like cutting back on meat, supporting local farmers, or spreading awareness — makes a positive impact. After all, "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
Let's join them in advocating for a future where all animals are treated with care and respect.
