Managing environment through some aspects of a vegetarian lifestyle.

Climate changed, in this case was global warming, was the greatest environmental risk. Global warming could be understood as the rise of the average temperature of the surface of the Earth. It had been degrading our environment. When our environment was degraded, the built form was also affected, the life of all people would be seriously affected too. Actually the efforts to fight degrading environment were the responsibility of all people, not only the domain of the government. We had to contribute to fight global warming with any effort as much as we knew, as long as we could. There was also the issue that a vegetarian lifestyle could be one kind of many solutions to fight global warming, even only small. While in other countries some aspects of this issue had been implemented, we in Indonesia never took a closer look at this lifestyle. Even, the persons who held a vegetarian lifestyle also did not know their lifestyle could contribute to reduce global warming. Furthermore, in this pandemic Covid-19 a vegetarian lifestyle was much more relevant to be considered. The objective of this paper was to explore the possible things to manage the environment through some aspects of a vegetarian lifestyle. Methods used by investigating literatures of global warming and vegetarian. Data collection carried out from persons who held a vegetarian lifestyle even though rare persons held it, by giving them closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires. Because this time was still on pandemic Covid-19, both questionnaires were conducted through Telegram Group of Vegan Way, and through Facebook too. The data obtained then analysed qualitatively the possible things to manage the environment through some aspects of respondents' vegetarian lifestyle. All were connected so that the conclusion could be drawn. The conclusion was, some aspects of a vegetarian lifestyle such as consumed a plant-based diet, reduced livestock farming, could maintain our environment – even only small - among other big categories to fight global warming.
