Vegetarianism has been around ever since Ancient Greece (570 BC – 495 BC) There were many philosophers back then that talked about how to be stewards of the earth not consumers of them. A vegetarian diet can h

Looking at the detrimental environmental impacts of animal farming and consumption is mind blowing. If eating meat was necessary for humanity’s health well being, I would be most tolerant to meat eaters. However the health benefits of a vegetarian diet is enough to change my mind. So why are people still eating meat? I wonder if it is a meat preface or convince issue or if it is more of a financial burden to adopt a vegetarian diet.

Hi Katie,
I really like your argument and how you use not only evidence from our world today, but all the way back to the ancient civilizations. There is a lot we can learn from that. Your argument was easy to follow, well supported, and straight forward! I think you would enjoy this article https://time.com/4266874/vegetarian-diet-climate-change/ . It is about how we can all decrease our carbon footprint by following a plant based diet!

There has always been controversy surrounding the topic of zoos. There are questions of it being morally okay to keep animals captive or is it saving them? Many animals that do go to zoos are going extinct from

Hey Katie,
I think that you make a good point but in my opinion Zoos do a lot more bad than good, and that they would be fine if proper steps are made to make the living for the animals better and how they get the animals better. I do agree they offer education and when the animals were ones that were injured and are now in living safer it is fine. But many zoos don’t offer that and make sure that the animals weren’t taken without reason from the wild. I think that this article gives a good argument for both sides and makes important points https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2019/10/01/are-zoos-good-or-bad-for-animals/

Hi Sydney! This was really interesting to read about, I agree with you on how everyone talks about climate change but there is nothing being done to change that. I already knew about climate change but this educated me a little more on it. I found this website on more about climate change. https://www.climate-change-guide.com/stop-climate-change.html

Hey Katie! I really liked your essay, it talked about a lot of things that I didn’t really think about before. Like how people are making less waste because they are staying home and cooking their own meals. I did not think about that before. Here is an article that I found that I think you might like. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/27/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-climate-change.html
Hi Katie, I agree with your article and SLC’s air has been looking very clean due to this whole pandemic!
