The BBQ Stopper
July 11th 2008 07:17
My quest is by no means over, but here are some links to some reasons why if we all turned Veg we could just about wipe out Climate Change. The first link is where I got the title for this post.
I know becoming a Vegetarian is a big ask, but quite frankly the more I read about the damage to the environment, the less and less appealing a juicy steak is. I personally think awareness is the starting point. Some of us will NEVER be able to live without meat but there are times I know I simply eat it for the sake of it, sometimes when I am not even hungry, now is the time to stop and think before we waste, that goes not only for food.
I am thinking I am going to start by having meat free days, the data is so dramatic for reducing emsissions if people stop eating meat altogether that one day a week for all of us could really add up. I haven't fact checked the first link but it is food for thought that if we stopped eating meat entirely in Australia we would reduce emissions enough to not even need to worry about an ETS!!!!!!! One day a week, its gotta do something.

I've been doing alot of reading in our agricultural practices and realise that eating too much meat is just not good for you, so we've started to have more vegetarian dinners and when we eat meat, we have smaller portions.
And I have to say I do feel better for it. I don't think I could ever give up meat.
I watched a doco a few weeks ago talking about genetically modified food. And one guy had genetically modified salmon. Apparently salmon only grows in the warmer months. So he took a gene from a fish that grew in the colder months and introduced to the salmon so the salmon grew all year round. This salmon was 4 times the size of a non genetically modified salmon. His argument was, this is good for the planet because we are depleting our salmon having one salmon that is 4 times the size will help with the problem of depleting salmon. But it doesn't address the problem that the human race just wants too much and it wants it now. There just needs to be an attitudinal shift.

But I don't think there's going to be any problem if a person does not eat meat for a day. Might even reduce his bad cholesterol.
