This article links to a variety of documents and resources about the effects of livestock production on climate emissions.
It helps students understand the data represented in the GLEAM tool.

Additional Prerequisites

Differentiation

Students can use the tab called "Dashboard" to access the link to the model, then create a list of animal foods that would be the most climate-friendly choices.
Students could investigate starting a Meatless Monday program at home or at school and create posters or informative media posts to educate others about the topic.
Advanced students could read one of the linked scientific reports about sustainable food solutions.
As an extension, students could investigate the staggering decline in wild animals as compared to the huge populations of livestock animals and humans. Have students think about how they can connect this to sustainability and climate action.
