“Meat production has a devastating impact on the environment. With so many alternatives to meat available, it’s easier than ever to enjoy great food while saving animals and the planet. Going vegetarian is the best thing we can do to save the planet this Earth Day!”

–Sandra Seifert, in an advertisement for vegetarianism for PETA Asia-Pacific. As you can see from the photo, Seifert is displaying the oceans of the world on her body while urging fans to “Save the Plant: Go Vegetarian.”
With Earth Day around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how diet affects the environment. According to PETA, raising animals for food is one of the “leading causes of climate change” and says there is an enormous waste of energy involved with “feeding, transporting, and slaughtering farmed animals and packaging, transporting, and storing their flesh.”

“Industrial agriculture is a part of the problem. Organic farming, relying on more productive, safer methods to put carbon back in the soil, produce safer and better food–that’s a big part of it. The shift towards a more meat-intensive diet is also part of the problem. The clearing of forest areas in many parts of the world in order to raise more cattle–that’s a part of it.”

–Al Gore, in an interview with FearLess Revolution founder Alex Bogusky where he discussed the impact of food choices and environmental destruction.

It’s good talk. Now let’s see Al get into action by giving up meat entirely.
