The latest move by people who care about the environment is for grocery stores to pour out milk.
Teenagers who care about the environment do “milk pours” all over the United Kingdom. Animal Rebellion, an animal rights group, says that the new thing to do is to go to the grocery store, pick up cartons of milk made from cows, and pour out the milk.
Teens are seen in videos that have been shared on social media pouring milk all over the store, including on the floor, over the sales counters, and in other places.
“The dairy industry does a lot of damage to the environment. The organisation said in a tweet on Saturday that the top 5 meat and dairy companies now produce more greenhouse gas emissions than Exxon, Shell, or BP.
It also said, “We NEED a plant-based future now.”
The account also shared a report from Grain, an international non-profit organisation, and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP). The report says that the world should stop eating meat and dairy to “dramatically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.”
Animal Rebellion says that the “milk pours” happened on Saturday in eight different places, including London, Manchester, Norwich, and Edinburgh.
The angry teens want a future where people eat more plants.
In another tweet, the group said, “Animal farming is THE leading cause of the loss of our wildlife and natural ecosystems.” It also asked the government to “support farmers in an urgent transition to a plant-based food system and let the freed-up land be rewilded to restore wildlife populations.”

Several countries around the world have put rules on the agriculture industry, like limiting the amount of nitrogen that can be released when milk is made. Environmentalists have pushed for people to use alternatives to dairy milk, like almond, soy, coconut, and oat milk. However, these milks have also been criticised.
In order to stop climate change, the Biden administration has said that it plans to force changes on the US farming industry.
In 2020, the EPA thought that 11% of the U.S.’s total greenhouse gas emissions came from agriculture, compared to 27% from transportation, 25% from energy, and 24% from industry.
