topsoil erosion

How long will our craven blogger make it without meat?

In last weeks episode of the Green Smackdown, I learned that despite my good intentions at home, air travel is a hurdle to my eco-victory over Little Miss Never-Leaves-Brooklyn. My darling fiancé and I are working out a long-term solution for that (for the short term, Im paying out the wazoo for carbon offsets), but right now Im setting my sights on behaviors that are more immediately modifiable—like eating. Now, that might sound incongruous in the context of your usual CO2-reducing tips, like change your lightbulbs and unplug your computer, but hear me out for a second, because Im about to say something crazy.

Ready? Ahem.

Im going to stop eating meat.*
