Thanks for the heads up on the contest. I know in our household we are trying to be a little but more green friendly. Can i ask what one meatless meal a week does???
Sure, meatless one day a week is because if every American lowered their meat consumption by just 20%, it could lower greenhouse gasses as much as if everyone in the country switched to driving Toyota Priuses. More information can be found here at Yahoo Green.
