Dothegreenthing.com is back again with another of their shorts.  This was submitted by them on Youtube and passed along, so let’s do the green thing and save our planet from greenhouse gases.

Here is a little snippet from their “How to do” section for March’s green thing:

Put down your pork chop, surrender your sausage, and lay off the lamb shanks. This month’s Green Thing is all about going Easy On The Meat.

Now, meat may be tasty – in fact, it’s downright delicious, especially in pie format. But unfortunately it’s also responsible for massive emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

The way cows, pigs, sheep and even chickens are reared (no sniggering) uses lots of fossil fuels, creating lots of CO2. Farm animals also have a nasty habit of producing vast quantities of methane, as you’ll know if you’ve ever picnicked downwind of a cowherd.

Plus, eating all that meat doesn’t make you insanely healthy, we are omnivores so pick up a carrot every once in a while.  Also, the encourage you to record that you have “done it” on their site, so help them out there too.

   You’ll be happy to know I’ve learned to accept onions in certain situations.

   Badass Adam, I am very proud of you… Now if we could only get you to eat scallions :)
