Vegetarian for the Earth: Vegetarianism is easier on the environment.

The United Nations is now urging wealthy nations to make a dramatic shift in eating habits in order to curb climate change. Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- which shared the Nobel Peace Prize last year -- said a progressive reduction of meat intake is imperative since meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions.

DID YOU KNOW
...that more than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared for grazing and for growing grain to feed farmed animals. More than 90% of all Amazon rain-forest land cleared since 1970 is used for meat production. What seems even more horrific is that while people are dying of starvation in poor countries, SOY, that could be used to feed the needy, is being exported to wealthy countries to feed cattle!

SO, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF OUR GOVERNMENT PROMOTED VEGANISM?

Factory farming would disappear and the economy would keep going!

We would have more food for the poor.

We would have cleaner water.

We would be healthier.

We would have a more balanced eco-system.

We would allow 3rd world countries to keep their habitat.

We would be teaching peaceful living to our kids.

We would be better stewards of God's animals used in research, and in the clothing
and food industry.

We would reflect more of God's image - compassionate, kind,
peaceful and loving.

We would be letting everything that has breath praise the Lord. (Psalm 150:6)

Billions of animals suffer needlessly for us every day. Let's stop the suffering, one choice at a time - and allow everything that has breath to praise the Lord!
