The exhibit consists of ten boards that explain how meat consumption has quintupled in the past fifty or so years. Per capita consumption globally is currently close to 100 kg per year and is projected to expand further. In financial terms the global meat industry is bigger than the smartphone business and exerts tremendous influence on government policies. This multi-national meat industry has led to animal cruelty, the destruction of half of the world’s forests and has an overall devastating impact on human health. Meat consumption is linked to heart disease, digestive cancers, lung infections, diabetes, obesity and Alzheimer’s. The exhibit then explains how we can live on plant-based proteins when we have a balanced diet.

The program was recorded and is being shared on line. As the exhibit is mobile, we have appointments to bring this program, along with environmental storytelling, to other cities in the coming months to other associations, schools and programs.
We aim to bring a new topic through this format every year, as it is relatively economical, yet impactful and inspiring to make personal changes for a sustainable world.
