Intensive animal agriculture is one of the main causes of biodiversity loss, threatens our health, pollutes our water, and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. On ACT Radio, Liz and Tom talk with Philip Lymbery, author of several books on global animal welfare reforms and Global Chief Executive of Compassion in World Warming, about ways we can live more sustainably and compassionately.

Compassion in World Warming is a movement that advocates for how the world feeds its people and treats its animals.
