Something to contemplate

Last night I came across the UN Food and Agricultural Organization report and it seemed worthy to share here.



Regarding the production of greenhouse gases:
18% are a result of animal-based agriculture
13.5% are a result of ALL forms of transportation combined

(It was noted that going vegetarian has more of an environmental impact than switching to a Pruis or simiar car.)

We might consider reduced dependence on animal products to help stop global warming. Even just reducing meat consumption a few times a week will make a difference.

Other reasons for adopting a vegetarian lifestyle include compassion for animals and improved health.
