Please keep writing about it and spreading the word.Although, I need to share with you that if you that if precious resources are what you're trying to protect, did you know that by making a choice for you and your family to not eat meat you would be doing more for the planet by a long shot than worrying about throwing away a pair of flip flops?!Water needed to produce 1 pound of wheat: 25 gallonsWater needed to produce 1 pound of meat 2,500 gallonsAlso, the rainforest is being destroyed to make room for growing more animals to eat 125,ooo square miles anually.And the methan gas from facotry farming is causing the ozone layer to deplete at a more rapid pace than all the cars, trucks, planes and trains COMBINED. It contributes over 20 % of the emmissions. AL Gore never mentioned this in his movie. His family owns hog farms.So, you might want to try Meatless Mondays as a step toward really making a difference and you can eat the tofu on those old dishes you won't throw away!
