Bill Gates with Meat

No need to go veggie: Bill Gates says you can eat meat and STILL care for the planet

• Billionaire Microsoft founder has defended meat eating in his latest blog
• Green campaigners are pushing for global reduction in meat consumption
• Climate studies say livestock emit more greenhouse gases than transport
• Bill Gates says some environmental impacts of meat have been overstated 

For many of those concerned about the future of the planet, giving up meat is seen as a major way for people to reduce the impact they have on the environment.

Producing beef, for example, requires large amounts of water, land for grazing and emits tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

But now Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft and philanthropist, has said it may in fact be possible to keep eating meat and still care for the planet.
