Abstract
Cows are one of the biggest contributors to climate change. Cattle produce a lot of methane from flatulence and eructation due to their ruminant stomachs. Human consumption of beef has exponentially increased the cattle population and therefore, putting more methane into the atmosphere. This study looks at how vegan and/or vegetarian diets can be more accessible to the general public in hopes of promoting more sustainable living. At the Woodlands Secondary School in Mississauga we sampled out various vegan and/or vegetarian recipes to spread the word and teach our peers that alternative diets can be just as tasty!

Summary
Climate change is a change in the usual weather patterns found in a place. Climate change resulting from cattle farming may be catastrophic for many countries unless we, as a society, do not stop (or significantly reduce) cattle farming and other activities that emit greenhouse gases. Beef is a staple in many people's diets. As a very common protein, people tend to be very reluctant to alter their diets. Imagine the change that would occur if people replaced the beef in their diets with more sustainable and less resource intensive proteins and foods.
