In another small win for vegetarian supporters (and environmental activists), TIME magazine recently published an article advising people to 'Skip the Steak' if they want to help stop global warming.
The story, which is a "global warming survival guide" reads:
- “Which is responsible for more global warming: your BMW or your Big Mac? Believe it or not, it’s the burger. The international meat industry generates roughly 18% of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions—even more than transportation—according to a report last year from the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization.”
“If you switch to vegetarianism, you can shrink your carbon footprint by up to 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide a year, according to research by the University of Chicago. Trading a standard car for a hybrid cuts only about one ton—and isn’t as tasty.”
That's a pretty big impact to be made by something as simple as eating less red meat. Will this information affect your eating habits?
