What you read only addresses air pollution. The biggest problem, especially from factory farms, is water pollution. Do you remember the hurricanes that flooded the hog farms in N. Carolina some years back? It was an ecological disaster.
If we all only, like you said, went meatless one day a week, or the equivalent in reduced consumption, it would make a huge difference. There would be less need for the horribly cruel factory farms and all the problems that go with them.
Here's a couple links about the hog farms if you're interested. DOVE IMAGING http://www.vivavegie.org/101book/tex...dehogwaste.htm Pigs AND THE FACTORY FARM | Animals | Find Articles at BNET |
That is just AWFUL. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...if only more people saw the pictures available of the damage we are doing, I wonder what the outcome would be?
