How animal agriculture impacts the environment

Meat and dairy production uses a third of planet earth's fresh drinking water. Animal agriculture uses 55% of our fresh water reserves. In order to produce a one pound beef burger, around 3000 litres of fresh water is required, which includes irrigation of the grains and grasses in feed plus water for drinking and processing. Consider that an average bath takes around 80 litres of water whereas the average electric shower sprays out about six litres a minute.
