Well, apparently not. It doesn't look like it makes much difference at all. Instead, we need to stop consuming so much.
ScienceDaily (Apr. 1, 2010) — If everyone became vegan and so ate only fruit and vegetables, then the reduction in greenhouse emissions for the whole of food consumption would be a mere 7%. The widespread adoption of vegetarianism would have even less impact, while organic food production actually leads to a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Those are the conclusions of a research paper published in the journal Progress in Industrial Ecology.
So, eat meat, get less stuff - read the rest here.

Interesting story, Doug. Thanks for the link!
There are so many reasons I like you! Add meat eater to the list! LOL Have you heard they are starting to see bears at Alligator River...very exciting!! I have been looking on Ballahack Rd in Chesapeake in my drives back and forth ready with camera...but it's like shells, when you bring a shell bag to the beach...you find nothing!
Bears have been there for a long time - though you do have to look. Traci has the luck though, she's seen the most. Check out our encounter last summer.

Tovar,
I was surprised by the findings. Big picture - I think we need to move closer to sustainability.
