Rejected petition Give all secondary school students a talk about the impact of animal products

I propose that all secondary school students should be given a talk which covers a) the impact which animal agriculture has on the environment and b) the role of animals in the production of meat, dairy and eggs. Young people have a right to make informed decisions about whether to consume them.

More details

Details which should be covered:

The environmental impact of animal agriculture, including greenhouse gas emissions, land usage and water pollution.

The exploitation of animals for the production of meat, dairy and eggs.

A couple of links which focus on environmental impact:
