People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that, once global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of their daily lives, it will be too late to prevent much larger, potentially catastrophic changes. ~ELIZABETH KOLBERT, The New Yorker, Apr. 25, 2005

Going vegetarian/vegan is perhaps the most effective
way to reduce your carbon footprint!
The burning of fossil fuels (such as oil and gasoline) releases carbon dioxide, the primary gas responsible for global warming. Producing one calorie of animal protein requires more than 10 times as much fossil fuel input—releasing more than 10 times as much carbon dioxide—than does a calorie of plant protein.3 Feeding massive amounts of grain and water to farmed animals and then killing them and processing, transporting, and storing their flesh is extremely energy-intensive. In addition, enormous amounts of carbon dioxide stored in trees are released during the destruction of vast acres of forest to provide pasture land and to grow crops for farmed animals. On top of this, animal manure also releases large quantities of carbon dioxide.

The Philosophy of Vegan Values
"True benevolence or compassion, extends itself through the whole of existence and sympathizes with the distress of every creature capable of sensation."
~ Joseph Addison
First it was necessary to civilize man in relation to man. Now it is necessary to civilize man in relation to nature and the animals.
Victor Hugo (poet, novelist, and playwright)
Sharks rarely pose a danger to humans. But humans do pose a danger to sharks! Fishermen kill an estimated 30 million to 100 million sharks every year. About 75 shark species are in danger of becoming extinct.
What kind of shark are you?
Mako SmartFastEfficient You're the Mako Shark. As the fastest and smartest of all sharks, you're both a lightning-quick thinker and powerful fighter in equal measures. Makos are endothermic and full of energy. You spend your days in constant motion, doing everything from eating, breeding, and sleeping while on the move. Makos are great at multitasking and are very driven. If faced with a problem you'll quickly overcome it, and if you cant, you'll leave it miles behind you in the blink of an eye.
