Peak

If we want a sustainable future, there are many things that need to peak and then decline. Coal consumption already peaked in 2013, and we need peak oil and peak gas to follow sooner rather than later. A new one is peak meat, which is expected by 2025 in Europe and North America, according to a report by Boston Consulting Group and Blue Horizon called ‘Food for Thought’. Globally, by 2035 one in ten people will be eating ‘alt protein’, thereby saving the equivalent of Japan’s annual carbon emissions and London’s water supply for 40 years. That’s peak performance.
