Discover the biggest issue in conservation today. This companion to the documentary Cowspiracy explores the impacts of the most environmentally destructive industry on the planet: animal agriculture.

The award-winning documentary Cowspiracy presents alarming truths about the effects of animal agriculture on the planet. One of the leading causes of deforestation, greenhouse gas production, water use, species extinction, ocean dead-zones, and a host of other ills, animal agriculture is a major threat to the future of all species, and one of the environmental industry’s best-kept secrets.

The Sustainability Secret expands upon Cowspiracy in every way. Journey with authors Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn as they discover one shocking statistic after another and interview leading businesses, environmental organizations, and political groups about the subject of animal agriculture and its disastrous effects. Extended transcripts, updated statistics, tips on becoming vegan, and comprehensive reading lists provide an in-depth overview of this planetary crisis and demonstrate effective ways to offset the damage through personal dietary choices.

Firmly rooted in science and supporting research, The Sustainability Secret reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact of the meat and dairy industry and offers a path to global sustainability for a growing population

I did not buy this book from here but i had to do a social change project in my senior English class and my topic was deforestation and I found this book in a local library and thought it would help. Long story short it did and I fell in love with it i just recently watched the documentary on netflix and now i want to own the book myself and i hope everyone has a chance to read this

3.0 out of 5 stars good ideas, but facts are out there
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021
The idea of reducing or eliminating your meat intake is good but some of the facts presented may be inflated. For instance, the author states that it takes 2500 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef. The average beef cow yields 880 pounds. So, 880 times 2500 is 2,200,000 gallons. Since beef cattle are less than a year old when they are slaughtered, that's 7333.3 gallons per day. Probably not possible.

Loved the book, but there is obviously heavy bias and cherry picking data as well. Take everything you read with a grain of salt

5.0 out of 5 stars A very well written journey into the dark soul of the livestock industry!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 14, 2019

This is a must read book! The author takes us on his journey of discovery and with his writing style you feel you are beside him at every encounter and every interview. It is a sensitive and very human journey into the heart of darkness. I have read and seen more than I care to remember on the subject of the livestock industry but this book turned my stomach to such an extent I had to put it down and leave it for a few days. He explores why a veil of silence has fallen over the biggest contributor to climate change and ultimately our extinction. It is a deeply sad but inspiring book. If you read nothing else this year, read this!

Terrific film. Best film so far on the effects of animal agriculture on the environment and climate change and the hypocrisy of Environmental Organizations that are more interested in self preservation than the truth. Shame.

Essential reading for mankind ! To help people to understand the consequence of their daily meal choices on their health, on the suffering of other sentient beings and the impact on the planet and future generations. We are brainwashed from birth this explains the truth.
