Eat a cow kill the planet, eat a veggie burger and sleep better.

Ok this might not be a completely accurate statement but it felt good to say and gosh darn it...this is my blog. Brad Knickerbocker a fellow Oregonian and father of a colleague from Principia College, wrote an article in the Christian Science Monitor on February 20th that I think it would be great for everyone to read. The article is called Humans' beef with livestock: a warmer planet and I hope you take a time to put down your burger, veggie or beef and take a look at this.

Some food for thought (from the article) to whet your appetite, "American meat eaters are responsible for 1.5 more tons of carbon dioxide per person that vegetarian every year."

"Arguably the best way to reduce global warming in our lifetimes is to reduce or eliminate our consumption of animal products," writes Noam Mohr in a report for EarthSave International.

Once again click here to read the story. Take it from me a vegetarian of 8 years now it is really a great change that makes you feel better, treats the planet better, introduces you to so many more types of foods and is the right thing to do.
