Praise for "The Sustainability Secret" If you care about the future of all life on this planet, start here. "The Sustainability Secret" should be a wake-up call for anyone concerned about sustainability; we simply cannot ignore the devastating environmental impact of our diet any longer. The good newsyes, there is good newsis that we make a difference at every meal. Will Potter, author of "Green Is the New Red: An Insider s Account of a Social Movement Under Siege" "The Sustainability Secret" proves we have the power to slow, if not stop, the madness of environmental destruction and its consequences for all life on Earth. With a clear and deliberate focus on the facts, authors Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn expose the environmental community s stunning willingness to ignore animal agriculture s destruction of ecosystems. I will carry this book with me because its illustrations demonstrate every essential point as to why animal agriculture must end now and how wonderful it is that we already have its replacementveganic agriculture. Will Anderson, author of "This is Hope: Green Vegans and the New Human Ecology" "The Sustainability Secret" vividly exposes the single largest contributing factor to our demise and that of other species, which is the consumption of animals and the supportive animal agricultural systems, and then provides a pathway toward a healthier, more peaceful and just planet by re-connecting us to the stark realities of food choice and sustainability, urging all of us to act, and to do so now.
