One of our favorite celebrity-supported charities, Farm Sanctuary, is asking the world to celebrate Mother Earth on April 22nd by going VEG!!
About the event, Farm Sanctuary President and Co-Founder Gene Baur said:
“People across the planet are taking steps to go “green” by changing light bulbs and driving habits. Yet with the unmistakable connections between factory farming and the destruction of our environment, the most effective change one can make for the earth is a change to a plant-based diet. With animal agriculture accounting for more dangerous greenhouse gases than the entire transportation sector — making it one of the leading causes of climate change — there is no better time to act than right now.”
Lean, mean Gene has a point! By now we all know the meat industry is a filthy cesspool of pollution and waste! What’s a better way to clean the planet then by going VEG?
