The Other Thing

| More
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.

    ya im not vegan, but im pesco-vegetarian. I'm interested in knowing how low gas mileage cars fit into this though.
    And also, this is totally random, but how do you feel about native tribes hunting meat to eat, or raising small populations of pigs or cows?
