EXCELLENT !!!
YEAH !!!
Also, the best way to conserve water is to eat less meat - save maybe 500 gallons by skipping a pound of beef, maybe 125 gallons by skipping a pound of chicken
Go Canada !

I feel sorry for the vegetarians. How are they going to reduce their emmissions by a ton? It will be easy for me since my gas guzzling car and my meat diet and my hot water laundry are all easy things to do to reduce emissions. The vegetarian will have to turn his heat down to 60 to save emmissions.

I suppose they could just start devouring their carnivorous neighbors.

But then they wouldn't be vegetarians. And do you know how much energy goes to making one of those neighbors?! Pound for pound you are better off eating beef!

So, they're altering their diet to help save the environment (much as the carnivores are being asked to do).
And do you know how much energy goes to making one of those neighbors?!
Yeah, but that cost has already been paid - no way to recover it. We can, however, reduce future energy/water expenditures by reducing the demand for, ummm, more traditional meat products.
Mmmm... soylent greenburgers...
