We're not Vegans, not even Vegetarians, but we do try to be modest in our animal protein intake.
But SUV's are such an easy target compared to steaks and burgers, or oil companies vs farmers.
Trying to Connect the Dinner Plate to Climate Change - NY Times:
"Ever since “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore has been the darling of environmentalists, but that movie hardly endeared him to the animal rights folks. According to them, the most inconvenient truth of all is that raising animals for meat contributes more to global warming than all the sport utility vehicles combined."
Matt Ball, executive director of Vegan Outreach:
“Al Gore calls global warming an existential risk to humanity, yet it hasn’t prompted him to change his diet or even mention vegetarianism,” he complained. “And I guess the environmentalists recognize that it’s a lot easier to ask people to put in a fluorescent light bulb than to learn to cook with tofu.”
