COWSPIRACY: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following an intrepid filmmaker as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today and investigates why the worlds leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it.

As eye-opening as Blackfish and as inspiring as An Inconvenient Truth, this shocking yet humorous documentary reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact large-scale factory farming has on our planet.

Great news! Meat consumption in the U.S has been on a decline for the last decade.1While several factors may account for this, studies have shown that the main reasons are public health concerns and economic reasons. The cost of some animal products, especially red meat, have increased in the last five years and may account for a reduction in meat consumption but data support that more Americans are abstaining or reducing their meat consumption for health reasons. Unfortunately we dont have the survey data to show it, but more and more people are reporting that they are choosing a plant based diet for animal welfare reasons.More importantly, it is crucial to remind ourselves that the choices we make DO have an impact on the welfare of animals, the well being of our environment and our health. So what we are doing is working keep sharing the benefits of a vegan diet with everyone around you. People are learning more about where their food comes from, the cost of food choices on the environment, and are making better choices. While the health benefits of a plant-based diet are becoming more and more popular, diet choices come and go for many people. However, when people choose a vegan diet for ethical reasons, because they are truly concerned about the treatment of farm animals and the negative impact of factory farming on our planet, they stick with it no matter what the trendy diet of the month is. Please keep sharing your love of veganism!!!
