Welcome!

Here you will find posts offering the environmental version of ‘what would you do.” There are no right, nor wrong answers of course--we just hope to challenge your perspective and encourage discussion on related scenarios that will test your ethical nature. Please feel free to add one of your own nature-related situations! We would love to join in the discussion :)


Now, what would you do...

Vegetarians Do It Better?

We came across this blog entry and it made us think...

"In recent years, awareness about global climate change and other environmental issues has increased considerably. Environmental activists who were once ridiculed are now accepted and even praised. According to Geophysicists Eshel and Martin from the University of Chicago 'where the environment is concerned, eating meat is like driving a huge SUV...Eating a vegetarian diet is like driving a mid-sized car. And eating a vegan diet (no dairy, no eggs) is like riding a bicycle or walking.' Shifting away from SUV-style diets to much more energy-efficient alternatives, is key to fighting the warming trend.…"

As casual meat eaters ourselves, we wondered, can you be an environmentalist and still eat meat?
