Each lb. of (US?) beef requires 1500 galloons of water + transportation

Being vegetarian is the most important action an individual can take for this planet, according to Einstein. Local veggies, even better.It is unfortunate that the attendees of the Car-Free Commercial Drive Festival didn't get any information about the beef hot dogs and beef hamburders and chicken nugges they were buying on Commercial Drive at the time. Accordiing to some posts and letters I've read, a meat-eater is WORSE than an SUV owner in terms of his/her footprin on Climate Change. Anybody have comments?

There is also little info about the 200-Mile Diet on Utne Reader magazine, which can solve this planet's downward spiral quickly, including putting an end to the arms race, accoding to the PhD that wrote the report for Utne magazine..

I recommend joining Earthsave Canada, the veggie association, which has an active membership in Vancouver.
