But as we【C1】______ so do all the things associated with us, including our livestock. At present, there are about 1.5 billion【C2】______ and domestic buffalo and about 1.7 billion sheep and goats.

And the drive to expand grazing land destroys more biologically sensitive land, rain forests【C6】______ than anything else.
But what is even more striking, and【C7】______ is that livestock are responsible for about 18 percent of the global warming effect, more than transportation’s【C8】______ Greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrogen, are resulted from their digestion. Grazing land, which destroys forests, adds to the effect.
There are no easy trade-offs when it comes to global warming—such as cutting back on livestock to make room for cars. The human【C9】______ for meat is certainly not about to end anytime soon.

A) yield B) contribution C) stain D) ideally
