Day 84: Save our planet


On my way to work today, I produced around 2,370 gallons of CO2 emissions.

Now imagine how much greenhouse gas emissions are produced by the hundreds of thousands people going to work this morning in Kuwait alone. Must be a lot right?

Well, according to the Paul McCartney Foundation, meat production is responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions- more than transport.

For that reason, environmentalists and campaigners are urging people to eat less meat using the slogan "Less meat = Less Heat".

Check out recent coverage on the campaign and accusations by clicking here and here.

All a better reason to go vegetarian (or even vegan) if you ask me.
