Summer Tips - For Sustainability
BBQ VEGGIES - Summer is a fun time to cook outside with a BBQ, but remember that agriculture and livestock in particular is the largest contributor to global warming after the energy sector. One pound of grain-fed beef requires 10 pounds of grain and 2,700 gallons of water to produce. More than a third of all raw materials and fossil fuels consumed in the United States are used in animal production. Choose to eat less resource-intensive meat such as chicken and turkey, or better yet reduce meat and grill more veggies. Try vegetable kabobs.
