I am not real big into the whole drive-a-hybrid-and-recycle-my-every-object lifestyle. However, when I am faced with undeniable logic I cannot help but be converted. Here is my alarming factoid for the day:
"In 2006, a University of Chicago study found that a vegan diet is far more effective than driving a hybrid car in reducing our carbon footprint. The scientists who did the calculations said that a Prius driver who consumes a meat-based diet actually contributes more to global warming than a Hummer driver who eats low on the food chain."
excerpt from John Robbins, The Food Revolution
I don't drive a hybrid, because they are cost prohibitive, but it baffles my mind the impact an animal based diet has on the environment. At least I'm doing something.
In light of it being a Monday, make it a meatless Monday. I promise you won't miss a thing.
