It’s not for me. I was a vegetarian for several years but decided I like meat. If you want to try it out, go for it and best of luck. I could never go vegan though, too extreme. I have a few vegetarian cook books, still use them from time to time.

Buying books kills trees, killing trees thins forests. Thinning the forest makes animals homeless!!! Hypocrite!

As much as my life style permits, I want to go green. (I think I may know what you are talking about by the phrase “going green” but maybe I am off?)

I like biodegradable soap. Organic food. Paper plates made from potatoes and corn starch. and just recently, I tried biodegradable feminine pads. (very comfortable).
I hope they figure out how to make recycled things cheaper. (the prices are rediculous)

Already have :). I always get irritated though, when people who call themselves environmentalists refuse to believe that a meat based diet is one of the worst things one can do to the environment. I answer a lot of questions in the global warming section and I usually get a dozen “thumbs down” for suggesting a vegetarian diet to people who ask for ways to go green.

im going to give it a try

This was one of my main reasons for going vegetarian!

The methane from 28 million cattle is 21 times more potent as a greenouse cas than carbon dioxide. Think about the fuel, electicity and water used in the production. The food the meat gets fed. Then the cattle trucks use energy, slaugherhouses use energy, refrigeration uses energy and cooking uses energy - cooking is essential for meat but not for plants.

Buying books is expensive (and environmentally bad!) and I don’t know about you dudes but i tend to only read it once. Try the library or ebay for second hands. I’ve got a book on hold at the library right now, its called “The Future Eaters” By Tim Flannery.

Its about how we are “eating” into future resources and limiting those that will be avalible for future generations. The book looks at cases such as Easter Island.

Well, I wouldn’t really buy books on it but I do try to live as green as possible. I don’t do that much, but I am vegan which does help. I also change light bulbs to fluorescent, have a fuel efficient car, never leave things running, etc. There are a lot more things I’d like to do but maybe once I get my own place I will. There’s a family in Manhattan that is a big inspiration on how far people can go to live a greener life. Here’s an article on it case you’re interested.

If you’re really going green, you need to do a lot of research. A lot of things people do to go green is bad for the environment. Like recycling, most recycling is a waste of money, time, and resources, and in many cases is bad for the environment. In almost every case, except for most metals, you’re greener tossing it out in the garbage then recycling. Most of what is put out to be recycled is put in the same landfills as the rest of the garbage. Yes, I can prove, and will if you wish.

The easiest way to go green is use less energy, drive a smaller car, walk, bike, etc. Buy things that you can use over and over again. A couple of sports bottles full of water in the fridge and reusing them is better then buying a bottled water and tossing out the bottle. Grow your own vegetables, cheaper, better tasting and you get some exercise.

In a nutshell, if you can save money doing it, and you’re healthier doing it you’re probably green. If it cost more money and you’re not healthier doing it then you’re not.
