\u201cAnimal agriculture can be gone tomorrow. it's not foundational. That\u2019s why I find it very puzzling, the amount of pushback because it seems to be the actual\u2026 low hanging fruit. You write a book about socialism and no problem at all, people are like. \u201cyeah, sure get rid of capitalism. No problem.\u201d Get rid of animal agriculture, they get very mad.\u201d -Drew Pendergrass

Drew is a PhD student in environmental engineering at Harvard. He is also the co-author with Troy Vettessee of \xa0Half Earth Socialism A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics.

In order to save the planet while at the same time, make life better for all beings on the planet, Drew and Troy have come up with a plan, that includes:

\xa0

• Rewilding half the earth\xa0to absorb carbon emissions and restore biodiversity
• A rapid transition to renewable energy,\xa0paired with drastic cuts in consumption by the world\u2019s wealthiest
• Global veganism\xa0to cut down on energy and land use
• Worldwide socialist planning\xa0to efficiently and equitably manage production
• The involvement of everyone

The authors also collaborated with designers from the Jain Family Institute and Trust to create a video game based on the book, at\xa0play.half.earth. Check it out, it\u2019s pretty awesome.
