Eat for the Environment

    Cutting back on meat consumption is good for the environment, your health, and your wallet. Producing one point of beef puts as much carbon dioxide into the environment as driving a typical car 70 miles! Read "Livestock's Long Shadow," the 2006 UN paper about the effects of the meat industry on the environment and human populations, at fao.org/docrep/010/a0701e00.HTM. 

Honor Human Rights Day: December 10th

What can you do to help others on a global scale?

Turns out, more than you might things. December 10th, World Human Rights Day, presents an opportunity to celebrate human rights and advocate for everyone to receive equal human rights everywhere. As much as we like to think that the world is all sunshine and rainbows, that is not the truth, and we should not be blind or ignorant to the truth. Today, make yourself aware of the injustices going on in the world, do some research on the prejudices people face and the hate many experience from others. Do what you can to help promote human rights today and every day. To keep up on all the latest, check out http://www.hrw.org.
