Don’t wanna give up meat?

Don’t wanna give up meat altogether? Well here is the idea, why not try for a happy medium – go meatless at least once a week for ginormous environmental and health benefits, without compromising your taste for the occasional sustainably raised burger.

Here are some benefits you can have. First you will have more-than-middling health payoffs. Compared to meat eaters, vegetarians have lower rates of diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, and obesity. And this will come together for the planet. Livestock accounts for 18% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and 8% of water use – and a meatless diet is 50% more effective at cutting CO2 than switching from a standard car to a hybrid. Personally speaking a friend of mine has been a pescatarian (he eats fish occasionally, but no meat) for years; he decided to let Cricket eat what he likes – meaning more sustainable meat options.
