The word seems to be getting around; meat and dairy is bad for the environment. Hamburger lovers had better watch out, their days are numbered! There are blogs and campaigns popping up all over the place urging people to reconsider their meat eating habits. Here’s a selection of what’s going on:-

A couple of great blogs
Price of Meat
Meat the Facts

New group
Save the Human is a new group formed in Hong Kong, with a brilliant video. They have a Facebook group and are working on a new website.

New campaigns
PETA’s ‘Meat’s Not Green’ campaign started this week, with a video and one of their usual saucy demonstrations!

Viva! have launched their Eat Green campaign. Their website has lots of great resources and they have a postcard campaign urging Gordon Brown to stop importing soy to feed animals, since it is destroying the rainforests.

Friends of the Earth launched their Food Chain campaign a few months ago; it’s early days, but this is set to be one of their major campaigns.

Greenpeace have been running a soy campaign for some time, but are now turning their attention to cattle grazing in the Amazon. They have not launched a campaign yet, but watch this space!
