Eating less meat can help to prevent climate change, according to a study published in Nature.
Raising livestock(家畜) is bad for the environment. When animals like cows digest(消化) food, their stomachs make greenhouse gases, which is a major cause of global warming. Seventeen percent of greenhouse gas emissions(排放) come from livestock farming, the New York Times reported.
In addition, to raise these livestock, people have to cut down forests and turn them into farms. Forests play a key role in fighting global warming because they absorb(吸收) greenhouse gases.

Eating less meat according to certain guidelines could cut global food-related emissions by nearly a third by 2050, the study found. Maintaining a vegetarian diet in the long term could bring down emissions by 63 percent.
But eating less meat won’t be easy. According to the study, people in Western countries will need to eat 90 percent less meat than they do now. Otherwise, it will have no impact(影响) on our climate. Scientists are trying to find new foods to replace meat.

Some say that eating insects could help. A UN report says that eating insects is healthier and better for the environment. They produce 75 percent less greenhouse gas than livestock.
Some experts are creating lab-grown meat. They make meat in a lab using livestock cells(细胞). US company JUST said people in the US might be able to buy its lab-grown meat in the near future.

Martin soon realized that other patients around him weren’t receiving the same kind of emotional (情感上的)support. This inspired him to go from room to room, giving away his flowers to them. The results were amazing. He watched people’s misery(痛苦) turn into happiness.
After leaving the hospital, Martin couldn’t forget the power of his flowers. Six months later, to help more people, he started a project called the Simple Sunflower Project. He collected used flowers from some events like weddings (婚礼) and then the flowers were given to people in hospitals and the old people’s homes. In the first year,

the project served no more than 100 people. But in the following 10 years, it gave away flowers to nearly 30,000 people.
Many studies have found that fresh flowers as well as plants are good for people’s health. To test the result, the University of Tennessee Medical Center did a study on the Simple Sunflower Project. Almost 95% of the patients who had received flowers had an improvement in their emotional condition. When staying in hospital, people felt not as comfortable as at home, but the Simple Sunflower Project helped them in some ways. Flowers could make them less stressed and less painful.
