The Other Thing

The two WORST things a person can do to harm the environment and aggravate global warming are driving a low gas milage car, and eating meat. I don't drive a car, and I recently became a vegan. It has so many pro's for the environment:
Not eating ONE POUND of beef can save more water than not showering for SIX MONTHS
The run off from factory farms, full of feces, has led to the deaths of MILLIONS of fish
The LEADING cause of spices in the tropical rainforests being threatened or eliminated is
livestock grazing
The Uniter Nations confirmed that meat eating pollutes more than cars
Amount of carbon gas released by clearing and burning enough Costa Rican rainforest to
produce the beef for one hamburger is 75 kilograms. That's 25 TIMES the amount a car
produces in ONE DAY.
Give me half an hour and i could come up with three thousand more reasons that it's good for the environment. Look it up sometime.

I found an amazing site where your voice can be heard. It's called Care2: the Petition site. It has all sorts of petitions with all sorts of subjects from Save the Dolphins in Japan, to demand Global Warming Leadership. This is a site where you can be Heard and you can make a difference. Please, spread the word.

I found this great site where you can adopt an endangered animal! The donations go directly to the organization called Defenders of Wildlife, who use it to save your animals by petitioning, suing and protesting. You can adopt a whale, a dolphin, a tiger, a poler bear, a wolf and more!

EVERYONE, EVEN IF YOU ARE ALREADY A VEGETARIAN, LOOK UP "DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA" ON AMOZON OR SOMETHING. IT IS A BOOK AND A MOIVIE. I JUST WATCHED THE MOVIE AND IT GAVE ME A VERY NEW AND INTERESTING VIEW/REASON ON BECOMING VEGETARIAN. IT MENTIONS ADDITIONAL REASONS AND SOLUTIONS FOR WATER POLUTION AND SHORTAGE, FORREST DEPLETION, GLOBAL WRMING AND LOTS OF SERIOUS HEATH PROBLEMS. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO READ/SEE. IT WAS PUBLISHED IN 1991 BUT THE FACTS ARE SOUND. GET IT. READ IT. SEE IT. SPREAD THE WORD.
One Makes the Difference
I am reading a book that deals with tips for daily living gone green, information about the environmental offenders and those who save it. It has some truly inspirational stories in it. Like you know that movie that came out in 2001? Erin Brocavich, starring Julia Roberts? Erin is a real person. Her story is told in full in this book. Its also where i found that baking soda works better than Ajack at cleaning bathrooms. It is available at the environmentally friendly store Real Goods, or on their website, www.realgoods.com.
Enjoy!
