I’m going Vegan...???
According to my research, eating meat is really hard on the world’s resources. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to make one hamburger, according to the David Suzuki Foundation.
Apparently eating organic food is much better for the environment than buying local, too.
So, here I am thinking about going vegan for a month. It’s terrifying. If you know me, you know how much I love cheese. It’s kind of my life.
However, I care about this planet and I do actually like vegetables so...why not? I’m going to try going vegan for a month and I’ll tell you how it goes.
Turns out “According to a new report published by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the livestock sector generates more greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent—18 percent—than transport. It is also a major source of land and water degradation.“
Wow. Ok.
Well, I guess I’m going to start this adventure by reading the Vegan Starter Kit and we’ll go from there.
