Destruction Diet

"If we shift away from eating meat and dairy and move towards a plant based diet then the sun’s energy goes directly in to growing our food. And because that is so much more efficient we could still produce enough to feed us, but do so using just a quarter of the land. This could free up the area the size of the United States, China, EU and Australia—combined. Space that could be given back to nature."
-David Attenborough

LAND USE

46% of all habitable land on Earth is used for agriculture. Of this, 77% is used exclusively for animal products. In the past century, an area the equivalent to the United States has been deforested for conversion to agriculture.

Biodiversity Crisis

This land loss has put extraordinary pressure on wildlife. We are in the midst of an extinction event with no end in sight. Wild mammals account for only 4% of mammal biomass whereas livestock represent a staggering 62%. Wild birds represent only 29% of bird biomass with poultry accounting for the remaining 71%.

Water Use

Fresh water is becoming increasingly scarce. A single hamburger requires 660 gallons of water to produce, an average shower uses 17 gallons. A plant-based diet uses half as much water as the Standard American Diet.

Zoonotic Diseases

73% of antibiotic medications are given to livestock. This overuse greatly increases the risk of resistant diseases spreading. Furthermore, the horrific conditions in which animals are raised exacerbates this likelihood.

Climate Change

Methane is a powerful GHG and animal agriculture, primarily beef, emits as much methane as the entire fossil fuel industry. While this is problematic, it also presents an opportunity to quickly reduce emissions and increase the likelihood we limit warming to 1.5 degree Celsius.

The Way Forward

We stand on the precipice of a cataclysmic future. The perplexity and enormity of the problem puts us in danger of being mesmerized by uncertainty. The choice is ours, either we act now or we cement our legacy as the generation that could have but didn't. This is our obligation, our duty, our responsibility.

The How:
Natural Networks

Impact DAO

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) enable a group of people with a common objective to coordinate and facilitate actions towards their end goal. Members propose, vote, and fund initiatives, ensuring that decision-making is transparent, democratic, and aligned with the organization's mission to make a meaningful impact. This approach not only democratizes philanthropy and activism but also introduces a new level of accountability and efficiency in how we address global challenges.

Global Grassroots

Local initiatives with global support. Creating communities of action.

Democratic

Every member gets a voice in the movement.

Transparent

Built on the blockchain, every action is open to the public.

FAQ

What is a DAO?

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) enable a group of people to manage a treasury via proposals that are submitted and voted upon by members. Because they are built on blockchain technology, DAOs are fully transparent with the dispersion of its funds, an issue that has plagued numerous nonprofits.

Do I need to understand blockchain technology to participate?

Blockchain and web3 are merely the rails for the DAO that allows it to function under the hood. Similar to how you don't have to be a mechanic in order to drive a car.

How do DAOs raise revenue?

DAOs operate like any traditional organization. Funds can be collected through donations, by providing services, or via product sales.

Why the focus on plant-based diets?

Even if we successfully decarbonize the energy and transportation sectors, agriculture alone will deplete the remaining carbon budget to remain below 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming. Furthermore, agriculture composes nearly half of all habitable land on Earth and is the primary driver for deforrestation, the biodiversity crisis, and fresh water scarcity. These negative externalities are caused largely by animal agriculture despite producing only 18% of global calorie supply.

What is an affiliate network?

Affiliate programs are marketing tools where product endorsers are compensated for any sales they drive. Instead of building this pool of endorsers, the affiliate network gives businesses access to a large community of product endorsers aka affiliates.
