Angels have the phone box

I have made the leap and given up red meat to do my bit to help save the planet. Having been a vegetarian and a vegan in past incarnations I thought it would be a relatively simple step to take… and it has been so far. The ethics and politics of eating living creatures has always played on my mind and I am hoping that I may be able to take the next step and become a vegetarian again but I am trying little steps. Not going cold turkey like I did with trying to give up Facebook.

There has been some media coverage about how eating less red meat can reduce green house. Evidently 22% of greenhouse emissions are from agriculture and of that 80% from livestock production/processing. So if you want more information you can check out this article.

My children wont let me turn on the Christmas lights on the tree. Pity because I love them but I see their point. The tree looks lovely without the lights. It may also be the last time I have a real tree. I have tried buying living Christmas trees but I always manage to kill them.

I don’t want our worthy attempts to do our bit to suck the joy out of the festive season. But you too might want to consider cutting back on your red meat consumption.

Peace
