One of the best things you can do for the environment and for the planet is to become vegetarian, eat less meat or pay more attention to where your meat comes from.
Due to the way meat is processed and transported, the meat industry accounts for more pollution than the entire transportation industry! If you think cars and planes are bad, take a deeper look into the meat industry.
Animal agriculture not only produces carbon dioxide, but also methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Those three are the toxic cocktail that causes global warming.
Eating 1 pound of meat emits the same amount of greenhouse pollution as driving a hummer 40 miles!
As if that wasn't a good enough reason, there are many issues about the treatment of farm animals in factory farms, who are crammed into tiny cages and subjected to horrifying lives.
Pledge to help our environment, our exploited farm animals, and yourself by eating less meat, and knowing where your food comes from.

I've been a vegetarian since August this year and my minds guilt has lifted as well as a noticable increase in my health, lung capacity and over all energy... Why would anyone want anything other than this life. And, choosing against it, why would they prefer to kill animals to feed their faces. Giving their children death, feeding the mass slaughter, destroying their world and destroying themselves. One would think they'd be smarter than that.
Sincerely, Animal lover
Dave Paterson

We should not derive pleasure at the expense of others' suffering.

broaden your circle of compassion to include the animals we farm to kill and eat. Go veg and reap the benefits!

I don't eat animals. They are my fellow creatures. I want to save them ALL from being killed for food. It's a really SICK industry!!
