less meat, less waste
i’d like to start by saying that i hope everyone had a nice, relaxing christmas break. now it’s time to go back to the business of greening our lives.
as i have stated in previous articles, i do not believe in global warming. however, those of you that do may be interested in this clip i found from the UN climate change summit. i take the UN about as seriously as i do global warming, but i think this fellow makes a good point. basically, whatever you may have read to make you believe in unnatural climate change there is just as much if not more compelling evidence that meat consumption could be a major player in global warming. click here to see photos. what it has come down to are leaders from around the world calling on wealthier nations to eat less meat as a means of cutting down their carbon footprint. for many years i have heard vegan activists and cookbook authors chiding prominent americans who call themselves environmentalists (namely al gore) for never mentioning the impact that factory farming has on the environment or, more importantly, how much it could help if people cut down on or cut out meat and dairy. i am very interested to hear what you all think about this!
