My research on going green takes me to places I sometimes wish I hadn’t been.  I’m currently working on a series of articles on vegetarianism, and today I found some facts that really blew my mind.

I have been considering going vegetarian for quite some time - in fact I eat so little red meat that I am just about there any way.  Part of this stems from the impact on the environment.  Since finishing a series of articles on going green, I have determined that conserving this old blue rock is something we all need to be looking at very closely.  Today I discovered information that even further confirms my thoughts of going veg.

In a previous article, I wrote about the shortage of water in parts of the south.  Today I learned that the cost to the environment for raising beef in terms of water is 14 trillion gallons a year.  I cannot even begin to imagine that amount of water.  Yet aquifers and water tables are raped each year for the steak on your dinner plate tonight.  It gives an old man pause…

Drive on,

Charlie~
