I know some people have a hard time going vegetarian all the way. Old habits die hard, and sometimes that nice steak is just too hard to give up. (Can you tell I date someone who won’t go veggie ever? I mention it every time veggie things come up!)

However, Wanna Veg has posted a great list about how going veggie even one day a week can help save the planet. The statistics are astounding — and might get to to consider making and All-Veggie-Wednesday event!

Ten Reasons to Go Veggie One Day a Week:

  • Save 84,000 gallons of water.
  • Save 245 lbs of grain.
  • Save 7,700 sq feet of rain forest. (That is equivalent to four good sized houses.)
  • Reduce your contribution to the over 10,000,000,000 animals slaughtered for food.
  • Save 15.5 gallons of gasoline, good for one fill-up!
  • Not contribute to over 403 lbs of manure produced by food animals.
  • Reduce your contribution to over 24,000,000 pounds of antibiotics that are added to animal feed.
  • Save 87 square feet of topsoil from erosion.
  • Reduce your impact on our quickly vanishing ocean life!
  • Do not forget about your health! A vegetarian diet, even one day a week will help reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, and it may even help to drop a few pounds.

    • Just some points to ponder…..
