Meat Free Monday

[amber_dawn_a]

Many in the green movement promote eating less meat as a way of being more environmentally friendly.  Meat Free Monday is a website/group that promotes eating no meat on Monday's.  Eating more vegetables is not only better for your health but it's great for the planet too!  My climate scientists have said that eating less mean is a way to combat global warming.  This is because producing meat takes a lot of resources - transportation of food for the animals, the time and energy for the animal to grow to the necessary size, and then the transportation of the meat from the processing sources to the markets where we buy it.

The site/idea is not just for vegetarians.  Anyone can jump on board and go meatless one day a week (or more) as a means of expanding their culinary horizons.  Enjoy!
