“There’s no such thing as a meat-eating environmentalist.”
I don’t eat mammals for the following three reasons: 1) Cruelty to the Earth, 2) Cruelty to humans (read Fast Food Nation to find out what that’s about), and 3) Cruelty to intelligent, emotional animals.
There’s an article in the Globe and Mail today that says that Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the United Nation’s Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change, has asked the world to “please eat less meat.”
Like the article says, this is unlikely to receive much traction in the media at-large as the commercial meat-packing industry is big-business, mainstream Western society has a lot of built-in meat-eating tradition and politicians hate to tell people that they have to make lifestyle changes if they actually want to stop the world from turning into an oven that drowns and starves all the polar bears.
Speaking at a press conference in Paris [Pachauri] said meat was a very carbon-intensive commodity, a fact established by UN research showing that livestock production creates more greenhouse gases than all forms of transport combined.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Bless you!

Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of Wordpress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Right now it seems like Drupal is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
