Thank you so much for posting this. My parents are huge environmentalists, and while they've been cutting back on meat consumption, I always want them to do more! I just copy and pasted the reasons and sent it to them!!

hopefully it goes better than trying to talk to my parents about stuff

(i'll give you a hint: if you're still talking to one another, it went better)

Wow, your parents care about the environment...at all???!!!? That's fascinating!

[cherrystreet021]

Yes it went well. My father emailed me back and said he would send it around to others who care!

My parents - well my father runs an environmental nonprofit (for 25 years not), and my mothers become rather environmentally conscious ever since she married him. Their environmentalism has actually led them to cut down a little bit on meat. Just not as much as I would like.

Does stop breathing reduce green house gases too?

I'm not sure what you're talking about but CO2 doesn't wreck the atmosphere.

Isn't Carbon Dioxide a greenhouse gas?

[tanukisuit]

from what I understand, it's pretty minimal, we need more plants to absorb CO2 though.

I knew this, but it still amazes me every time I read about it.
