It's Earth Week. Are you taking measures to be greener?
I'm a HUGE meat eater and I'm not going to change that any time soon (aka at all). However, i would love to change everything else that I can. I took my ecological footprint quiz. I scored a 22. T.T So not the greenest person in the world. You can take yours here: http://www.conservation.org/act/live_green...ofootprint.aspx What do you do to be greener on a day-to-day basis? -I recycle -I use a Brita filter and a reusable Nalgene bottle type thing (so i don't really buy bottled water) That's about it. |

Being vegetarian/vegan (or pescetarian, in Jane's case) helps the environment because it takes a lot of energy and produces a lot of pollution when livestock is killed in factories. By not eating meat, you're helping to reduce the pollution created, or something like that. |
