Alex made a post yesterday about wanting to get a new car, and it spurred me on to do what I don’t normally do. Unfortunately his blog ate my comment about the environmental benefits of becoming vegetarian, so I’m reposting the links here.
I shamelessly ripped these off from Andrew G’s blog entry about the same thing.
Vegetarian is the new Prius
Fighting global warming by going vegetarian
Diet, energy and global warming study
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that people are concerned about the environmental impact of their cars, but the single best thing you can do to help the environment is stop consuming animal products. And if you don’t think you can do that, then please, eat less meat and try to source it from local, organic farms.
