~ Veggie Pride Parade NYC 5/18/08 ~

As a registered nurse, environmentalist, and humanitarian, I am concerned about the alarming rate at which global warming has been progressing. Each one of us must do our part to minimize pollution. That includes using environmentally friendly hybrid cars, conserving energy and water, recycling, and, maybe MOST importantly, switching to a plant-based diet. A recent 400-page UN report [ summarized here: http://www.wellfedworld.org/globalwarming.htm ] cited animal agriculture as a major contributor to pollution (and, subsequently, global warming). Let's take some responsibility as individuals and stop expecting someone else to do something about the problem.
Vegetarian/Vegan diets are better for human health, the planet, and, certainly, for the animals... Rina Deych,RN ...
