Share and Voice: Earthsave

Hey Bloggers! I found a really neat sight that I wanted to share with you all! After watching the movie Diet for America, I noticed a website at the end called Earthsave. I looked this up in curiosity and found some really neat information. It offers tips improving your lifestyle choices in regards to the environment around you. Here are a few of the links I found interesting, hope you enjoy them!

The Wild Vegetarian Cookbook showed a variety of recipes and cooking methods to cooking a vegetarian diet. Some of these recipes sound pretty tasty to me.

The Factory farm alert was another interesting site that showed how animal factories are laying wastes to our environment and to public health. Pfiesteria is something that really caught my eye after reading this article. Something I found interesting is that Al Gore has been involved for federal help in dealing with pfiesteria problems.

The last article I checked out was called “How our food choices can help save the environment.” It basically talked about beef and all the harmful factors that go along with it. I hope you find this table interesting. I found it on the website and thought it would give you better insight

By not eating beef– and other farm animals as well–you:
•Save massive amounts of water – 3,000 to 5,000 gallons of water for every pound of beef you avoid,
•Avoid polluting our streams and rivers better than any other single recycling effort you do,
•Avoid the destruction of topsoil,
•Avoid the destruction of tropical forest,
•Avoid the production of carbon dioxide. (Your average car produces 3 kg/day of CO2. To clear rainforest to produce beef for one hamburger produces 75 kg of CO2. Eating one pound of hamburger does the same damage as driving your car for more than three weeks);
•Reduce the amount of methane gas produced. (I imagine the next bumper sticker: stop farts, don’t eat beef);
•Reduce the destruction of wildlife habitat, and
•Help to save endangered species.
