As we have reported, reducing meat consumption is the #1 thing you can do to help improve the environment and reduce global warming, pollution and food shortage.

As we have also reported, processed meat is a Group 1 carcinogen.  Processed red meats such as bacon, sausage, hot dogs and deli meats often contain higher levels of sodium, nitrates and saturated fat. Eating higher amounts of these meats has been strongly linked to the development of colon and other cancers, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease and stroke.

Now, let’s turn our attention to mental acuity.  If you would like to lower your chances of mental acuity (dementia, Alzheimer’s, brain fog, long covid, et cetera) problems, reduce your meat, especially your processed meat, intake.  The risk of dementia drops 20% when people replace meat with nuts and legumes.

If you know someone already suffering from mental acuity problems, try to get them into a facility like Gym For The Brain, that offers contrast oxygen plus other synergistic technologies.

Be smart before you lack the ability to be smart.

If you owned a manufacturing company and it cost you $25.00 to produce an item that you sold for $1.00, how long would you stay in business?

As per this, and other studies, it takes:

• 25 calories to produce 1 calorie of beef
• 15 calories to produce 1 calorie of pork
• 10 – 20 calories to produce 1 calorie of fish
• 9 calories to produce 1 calorie of chicken

Even if we ignore the fact that meat production is one of the most significant contributors to our environmental problems.

Even if we ignore the fact that many meats are now labeled Type 1 or Type 2 carcinogens.

Even if we ignore the fact that most of the meat you get from the store has fecal matter in it.

Even if we ignore the fact that the calories you get from meat are not as beneficial as the calories you get from plants.

Even if we ignore the fact that our bodies were not built to digest meat.

Even if we ignore the increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, acne, Alzheimer’s and overall mortality.

Even if we ignore the rising price of meat.

We simply cannot feed the world with meat.  The math does not work.

The sooner you start your transition away from meat the sooner you will find the alternatives taste good, your health will go up, your weight will go down, and you will have more money in your wallet.  Oh, and you will be doing a good thing for the world and all in it.

As this article explains, environmental litigation is increasingly acting as a structural forecasting variable.

Key Issues:

• Plaintiff classes have expanded
• Scientific standards are becoming more reliable
• Judicial rulings are allowing cases to proceed

Carriers have:

• Added exclusions
• Raised deductibles
• Increased underwriting scrutiny
• Limited coverage windows for emerging contaminants

The questions:

• Are you exposed?
• Does your existing forecasting model adequately account for the potential impact of an environmental litigation event?

On January 30, 2026, Canada, via the Federal Court of Appeal, validated the government’s authority to list Plastic Manufactured Items (PMI) as toxic, under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.

This allows the Canadian government to act broadly to address plastics pollution.

For businesses that manufacture, transport, or dispose of plastics, the ruling signals that plastics governance in Canada is entering a new phase where sustainability standards, sustainability claims, operational risk and regulatory compliance come together.

• There will be enhanced reporting requirements on plastics use and recovery
• Product design will be reviewed
• Suppliers will be linked to the process
• Closer scrutiny of high-leakage or low-recovery materials
• Containment and waste management practices will be reviewed

Will this be an opportunity for some?

• Of course.
• Those that ignore will invite fines and lawsuits.
• Those that are proactive and develop a sustainability plan that includes management of toxic materials (inclusive of plastics), will take market share.

Besides being less expensive for you, and materially less damaging to the planet, a planet-first (reduced meat and dairy) diet will reduce your risk of an early death by 30%. 

It will also improve your energy and strength.

This CNN article and video gives a short (but not satisfactory) overview.

For a far deeper analysis, if you have not seen it, take the time to watch The Game Changers on Netflix.  We play it for our clients who are doing sessions at Gym For The Brain.  It is well worth your time and might be a game changer for you.  Many of our clients have already gone ‘all in’ with a plant-based diet and are very happy with how their bodies have responded.

The EU Parliament has voted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 90% by 2040.

With 1990 serving as a base:

• The EU has already reduced emissions 37% by 2023
• The EU is targeting a 55% reduction by 2030

If you are running a company that sells products in the EU, or sells to a company that sells products in the EU, this will impact you.

Most people recognize the environmental problems we are facing.  This is not a complete list, but it is sobering, nonetheless:

• CO2 emissions have increased 50% by 1990, accelerating global warming and impacting all life on Earth
• 90% of us breathe polluted air, causing 7 million deaths a year
• Almost all of us drink contaminated water, causing 5 million deaths a year
• Our oceans are overfished, increasing in temperature and full of plastics and waste
• Nearly 25% of animal species are at risk of extinction
• Forests are being destroyed
• We are not producing enough food

Most people say, “I would love to help, but what can I do?”

Let’s start the answer with this article about a rancher destroying the Amazon rain forest to raise cows for your hamburgers.  He takes the risk, and admits he is doing the damage, because our demand for meat is so great.

You probably know Processed Meat (any meat treated to improve favor or last longer, like deli meat or any meat in a package), is a Group 1 Carcinogen; in the same cancer-causing camp as asbestos, arsenic, mustard gas, neutron radiation, plutonium, cigarette smoking…

You probably know Red Meat is a Group 2 Carcinogen; in the same cancer-causing camp as formaldehyde, nitrate, silicon carbide…

You probably know that white meat and fish are expected to be added to the Group 2 list due to the impact of commercial meat factories…

You probably know that +90% of the meat you purchase at the store has fecal matter in it…

You probably know that animals are the middleman to you getting the protein you need…

You probably know the human body, from our teeth to our digestive tract, is built for plant digestion, not meat digestion…

You probably know meat harms your gut and biome and plants rebuilds it…

You probably know meat will increase your calories, cholesterol, risk of heart disease, risk of mental disease, risk of gastro-intestinal disease… 

You probably know that a plant-based diet will be less expensive and healthier.

But did you know, the biggest opportunity we have to address our environmental problems and global warming is….reduced meat production?

• 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions and climate impact is from the production of meat. This is equal to the emissions from all the cars, trucks, planes and boats.
• 75% of the world’s agricultural land is used for the production of meat (including the Amazon land destroyed in the above article)
• 20% of global fresh water is used in the production of meat

So, the next time you get ready to take a bite of your expensive hamburger, remember:

• It likely has fecal matter in it
• Your body was not built to digest it
• The protein is from plants
• You will get fatter and die younger from it
• It is the biggest opportunity we have to correct our environmental / climate problem
• And, you have control over what you eat

Safran Oil Systems, a 36,250 SF manufacturer of commercial airline oil tanks, located in Fort Myers, FL, and operating as a subsidiary of Safran Aero Boosters, a $1B, Belgian-based global leader in lubrication units, oil tanks, heat exchangers, and special valves, has continued its environmental sustainability commitment by renewing and extending its Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification through 2026.

The program, which allows companies to progressively improve at a pace that works for their needs, helps the organization define how it interacts internally, externally, and with the environment.  It incorporates energy/waste/water, employee health and performance enhancement, community involvement, procurement and suppliers, compliance and regulations, emergency/security, and stakeholder engagement.  Benefits include creating a culture of continual improvement, stakeholder engagement, lower costs, higher revenues and profits, improved employee performance, and…… doing the right thing for the environment and current and future generations.

“We are best of class in aircraft engine oil tanks development and production and accept the responsibility of leading this effort that will make a global impact,” said Jean-Pierre Posset, General Manager of Safran Oil Systems.  “Our organization, including our employees in Florida and the rest of the world, cares deeply about the environment and sustainability.  We are excited to receive this certification and join the others around the world that have chosen to be part of the solution.  In 2025, the team was able to: finalize the transition to green cleaning supplies and compostable trash bags for shipping boxes and replace wooden boxes with 100% recyclable cardboard material.  Further, we were able to also plan a broad list of 2026 projects that our Green Team is excited about tackling this coming year.”

“Safran Oil Systems is a pleasure to work with and is an example of what the world needs more of – an organization that produces a superior product, supports its current stakeholders, shows it cares about future generations via its commitment to sustainability certification, and makes more money due to its sustainability programs,” said David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group.  “When an organization executes the Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification, as Safran Oil Systems is doing, it not only benefits the environment, but it also benefits its own operation,” added Goodman.
