Nice sentence：
- （畜牧业是全球变暖的主要因素）The meat and dairy industries are serious contributors to global warming. They account for about one-sixth of global greenhouse gas emissions. Cattle are the main culprits for the livestock industry's hefty carbon hoofprint. These animals belch out methane, which is 80 more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. （牛排放甲烷，甲烷吸收热量的效果是二氧化碳的80倍）They convert plant material into protein with relative inefficiency. For every 100 grams of protein sourced from herd-raised beef, 50kg of CO2 equivalent are released over its production lifecycle. That is nearly nine times more than poultry, and 25 times that of tofu.
- （改变饮食可以减少碳排放）Climate-friendly lifestyles are gaining in popularity. Codes loosers than veganism - notably pescetarianism - produce the bulk of carbon savings from changing your diet. Considering that an average(典型的） meat-eater, consuming a vaired daily diet of 2,000 calories, is responsible for nearly 6kg of CO2. Switching to fish can reduce the individual's greenhouse gas emissions by one-third, similar to shifting to vegetarianism. Therefore, for those concerned with broad impacts, the prescription is clear: plenty of fruit and vegetables, spiked sparingly with animal protein(适当的摄入）, is good for the person and the planet.
