#96: John Vidal meets Sustainababble

Many thanks to the website http://guardian.co.uk.com for their continued posting of important information for a needy world. In this 18 July 2010 article "10 ways vegetarianism can help save the planet" by John Vidal for The Observer, the emphasis is on eating less meat. I think we would all agree that this is an important step in the direction of eliminating the use of animal products for our nutrition.
