Vegetarianism...

Here's another disturbing video. I have considered vegetarianism many times, and ultimately decided that as long as I get my food from local, organic, sustainable, and ethical stores and companies, humans are meant to be omnivores. But I'm not sure I'll be eating chicken for dinner tonight after watching the video above. I found it in this post on Elephant Journal. It's not the first of this type of thing I've seen - reading Omnivore's Dilemma is a pretty good wake up call along with some other YouTube videos that I've seen.

Meatless Monday is a great initiative to start cutting meat out of your diet without completely becoming vegetarian.

I just can't go without putting some of these amazing videos up - they're just amazing. A little long, but they really help explicitly explain the issues. Visit the Story of Stuff website for more information. Thank you Annie Leonard for making these videos!

Welcome!

Welcome to "The Green"! I'll be posting short articles on interesting videos, movies, and projects relating to environmental issues, along with some longer self-researched pieces. I hope this will be a place where everyone can see the exciting and innovative things going on in the environmentally-conscious community!


About Me:
I have been interested in the environment, and science in general, since a very young age. Stimulated by some amazing elementary school teachers, a vacation to the Galapagos Islands, and an obsession with the National Geographic Channel, I have been researching the environment and greening my house, home, school, and friends for as long as I can remember.
