Also, I find this interesting: "Are you aware that nearly half of all the water usage, 1/3 of all fossil fuels, and 80% of all agricultural land in the USA goes to the production of animal products?... You actually save more water by not eating a pound of beef than by not showering for an entire year, not to mention all the other resources consumed and the pollution and waste production [of raising feed animals]. Consequently, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that a non-vegan environmentalist is an oxymoron." http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/01/raw-food-diet-day-11/ All of these new uber-hyped Greed initiatives have a pretty much negligible impact on the environment (if any at all – production of ethanol, for instance, takes up more energy than it saves).
