My thoughts...

Well for starters, I love nature and our giant blue and green planet, and I intend on pursuing a career that will make a positive impact on Earth for years and years to come as an Environmental Science teacher!
My...Obsession for helping the earth, and all living creatures has been a pretty constant thing. However, I'm not alone. Especially in recent years loving the environment has become a fad, Eco-friendly products, new habits and diet changes, and overall more understanding that us humans haven't been treating our home very well. 

This is where my topic had risen, I am wanting to do research and find out how Veganism can help the environment? 

I have my own opinion on the topic (that I shall share later) but I'm going to start by covering what Veganism is, perhaps differences between other lifestyles (i.e. Vegetarianism), how it is going to help the environment, and why even do it! I'm also thinking about adding how beneficial it could be and how to go about it.

I'm going to search for some documentaries (because I know that there are many) and see what else I can discover, such as online articles off of Google Scholar.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2367646/#b37-ehp0116-000578 this article looks promising  I'm going to look into it more, and I realize I'm going to have to make sure I don't have a bias while looking into the research. https://www.ciwf.org.uk/includes/documents/cm_docs/2008/f/factory_farming_and_the_environment_1999.pdf this one appears long, but I could really use a good understanding of my topic, especially when starting out.
