Seems like a drastic change, but it's actually not that tough - and it turns out to be lots more fun.

href="http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2367646" 
linkindex="50">role of animal feeding in global warming</A>. The shocking fact 
is that production of beef, pork and poultry is a bigger part of the climate 
problem than the cars and trucks we drive, indeed of the whole transportation 
sector.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alternet.org/environment/94052/eating_meat_is_worse_than_driving_a_truck_..._for_the_climate/">Vegetarians have long understood this issue, but asking the American public to 
eat less meat is still a radical idea, politically untouchable. Yet the meat 
industry is a giant source of greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide is only 
one, and not the most dangerous one. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alternet.org/environment/94052/eating_meat_is_worse_than_driving_a_truck_..._for_the_climate/">On an equivalent basis to carbon dioxide, methane is twenty-three times more 
potent as a greenhouse gas. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alternet.org/environment/94052/eating_meat_is_worse_than_driving_a_truck_..._for_the_climate/">livestock farming is responsible for nearly one-fifth of human-induced 
greenhouse gas emissions, more than the transportation sector</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/09B91ED4-8F3C-440F-8236-C30A26C90BBF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
