So, all this hype about global warming has a lot of people worried. You see it all over the television, the publicity is at an all time high. So are insurance sales. Yet people still drive around in hummers and oversized SUVs. Cars so big that only a monster would need it (well some of these people looks like monsters). I have great news if you are driving an oversized car and feel guilty. Going vegetarian can affect global warming as much throwing away your huge SUV. If the world went vegetarian than we could all drive huge cars.
The waste and movement of animals in factory farming accounts for 40 percent of global warming. Emissions from cars account for 40 percent of global warming as well. If we all went vegetarian we could kick global warming in the behind.
Carl Pope could probably affect the world more by being a vegetarian than through his job as president of the Sierra Club.

A reduction in beef and other meat consumption is the most potent single act you can take to halt the destruction of our environment and preserve our natural resources. Our choices do matter. What's healthiest for each of us personally is also healthiest for the life support system of our precious, but wounded planet.
John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America, and President, EarthSave Foundation, Santa Cruz, California
