Passage 1 If you're interested in vegetarianism but still have a fondness for burgers and bacon, reducetarianism might be the ideal solution. Brian Kateman, author of The Reducetarian Solution, first coined the term "reducetarian" in 2015. He believes that reducing meat from your diet by just ten percent is enough to make someone a reducetarian. Reducetarianism steers clear of the all - or - nothing approach of vegetarianism. Instead, it offers a flexible framework for reducing meat consumption. Vegetarianism is gaining popularity worldwide due to its significant health benefits, environmental advantages, and ethical considerations against meat - eating. Reducetarianism, on the other hand, celebrates every plant - based meal as a step towards reducing meat intake. The Reducetarian Foundation (RF) encourages people to make "healthy, sustainable, and compassionate food choices" and is researching the most effective ways to promote meat - reduction. Their first in - house study found that simply reading a news article could motivate people to modify their meat - eating habits and change their views on animal treatment and factory farming for up to five weeks. Reducetarianism isn't new, although the term has only been recently coined. While vegetarians are still in the minority globally, more and more people in many countries are eating less meat each year and choosing meat - free or plant - based meals more often. According to RF, becoming a reducetarian is as easy as committing to eating less meat over the next 30 days. Who first used the term "reducetarian" A. Lauren Cahn B. Brian Kateman C.

Copied Passage 2 In the past, people either fixed things themselves or turned to local repair shops. However, as more products were manufactured overseas, the trend shifted. Replacing items, even big - ticket purchases like appliances, became more convenient than repairing them. But now, a change is underway. Legislative measures are playing a role in this shift. According to Ricardo Cepeda Marquez from C40, a global network fighting climate change, these measures both respond to and encourage the public's desire to repair. Repairing presents an opportunity to become aware of our collective consumption and the pressing need to reduce waste. Online repair manuals have also contributed to the fix - it revolution. Take as an example. It has facilitated over 100 million repairs. iFixit started in the early 2000s. Its co - founder and CEO, Kyle Wiens from California, dropped his Apple laptop ... ...
