If it's good enough for a Beatle, it's good enough for us!

A recent convo between Laurie David (Founder, StopGlobalWarming.org) and Sir Paul McCartney revealed some interesting and frightening statistics!!

A long-time vegetarian and environmentalist, Paul shared his thoughts regarding an important link between these two spheres of interest. He drew statistics from a 2006 UN report on the subject.

"According to the report, an astounding 18 percent of global warming emissions come from raising cows, chickens, pigs, turkeys and other animals we eat. That's 40 percent more than all the world's cars, SUVs, airplanes, and other modes of fossil-based transportation, which combined account for 13 percent. For further comparison, every house, residential and office building in the world accounts for just 8 percent."

There's now a huge trend in Europe called "Meat Reducing", where along with recycling and eschewing plastic bags, people are eating meat at LEAST one day less per week.

Try being a "Meat Reducer" right away!! It's the smallest thing you can do to help save the environment, not to mention your health and the well-being of my little farm friends!!
