On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind – the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic.
Here’s what beyondlettuce has to say:
According to the recent UN report Livestock’s Long Shadow, the meat industry generates more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the cars, trucks, SUVs, ships, and planes in the world combined.
The report also concluded that the meat industry is “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.”
And here’s beyondlettuce’s plan of action:
1. adopt a vegetarian diet
2. try out my recipes
3. save the planet!
To learn more about the issue, check out this recent article in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/29/business/media/29adco.html
