Here’s a great article on how eating a plant-based diet can help the planet: Top 10 Reasons Why It’s Green To Go Vegetarian.
The article starts out as follows:
It is noteworthy that the United Nations and many leading environmental organizations–including the National Audubon Society, the WorldWatch Institute, the Sierra Club, and the Union of Concerned Scientists–have recognized that raising animals for food damages the environment more than just about anything else that we do. Whether it’s unchecked air or water pollution, soil erosion, or the overuse of resources, raising animals for food is wreaking havoc on the Earth.
There’s some interesting, easy to follow information here for those who are just learning about the impact meat-eating on the environment.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us at the World’s Biggest Garage Sale! We had a lot of fun and met some wonderful people.
The sale proved to be a good fundraiser for us as well. We’re very grateful to everyone who donated items and also to those who helped us with the sale itself.
We’ll likely return next year, and we’ll be looking for more donations then. So when you do your fall or spring housecleaning, don’t forget to set aside any unwanted items (except clothing) for us. We’ll start collecting in mid-March.
