The Red Meat Argument


On this page you will find three items on the question of eating red meat and its contribution to Green House gasses. Here in Britain it is suggested that meat production causes 8% of our total C02 output.

Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said people should have one meat-free day to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

The economist, who is vegetarian, said diet change was important in reducing environmental problems associated with rearing cattle and other animals.

Eating less meat is a step we can all take very easily. Have a read and see what you think.
