This is a fun way to teach students about the reality of where their animal products come from.
Students are also encouraged to take action by signing a petition to call for climate action by the livestock industry and the downsizing of factory farming.
Additional Prerequisites
Students should have a general understanding of the contribution of the animal farming industry to climate change.
The video advocates for an end to factory farming without reducing meat consumption. Students should be made aware that the latter is critical to addressing the environmental impacts of the meat industry.
Differentiation
Have students consider the environmental and health impacts of ending factory farming if meat consumption is not reduced.
This video can also be used in health and environmental science classes during lessons about the health impacts of living near industrial sites, and in social studies classes during lessons about environmental justice and environmental racism.
Use this video to learn more about the environmental impacts of meat production and this report to learn about the potential of plant-rich diets in solving climate change.
