Script:

Mom: Hey Noah, would you like some beef stew for dinner tonight?

Noah: Can we have something else? I'm thinking of cutting down on my meat consumption, specifically beef.

Mom: Why do you want to do that?

Noah: Beef production has negative impacts on our environment and I want to be more responsible with my choices.

Mom: How can cows harm the environment?

Noah: A result of cows' digestive process is methane. It’s a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Mom: I didn't know that.

Noah: The production of beef also indirectly leads to deforestation. To meet the increasing global demand for meat, forests are being cut down to make space for cattle farms.

Mom: You're a teenager, Noah. You need all the nutrients to support your growing body and that includes protein.

Noah: There are other high-protein foods that require fewer resources to produce. I can replace meat with fish or plant-based foods like soya, and peanuts.

Mom: You mean everyone should cut out meat from their diet?

Noah: Not really, mom. There are a lot of sustainable farming techniques so we should buy meat from companies that value our environment.

Mom: OK, I see.
