Research Question: What effect does the meat industry have on the environment?
1) The topic area I want to cover is the meat industry and how it relates to our environment.
2) This is a topic that I care a lot about and could talk about for a very long time. I started learning about the reality of the meat industry about a year ago and have been vegetarian ever since. I want more people to be knowledgable on the subject.
3) There is a lot of basic information I know on the topic before researching it further. For example, the meat industry lets a lot of methane gas into our environment, and it takes up a lot of our land and water.
4) The only people who disagree are those who most likely haven't researched the topic. There are many people that are quick to defend the meat industry without researching it because they enjoy eating meat. There are many clear links to the meat industry and our declining environment, but people still choose to disagree.
5) My topic is researchable in the amount of time that I have. The topic is starting to gain popularity so there is constantly research being done on it.
6) Subtopics would be meat alternatives, protein alternatives, health, and solutions.
7) Some questions that might come up during my paper are "what are the solutions to the problem?" "Is there a better way to produce meat?" 'Can humans survive without meat in their diet?"
8) Key terms pertaining to this topic are "Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Climate Change, Pollution, Oceans".
