Head over to http://veg4earth.org and put your name down. The petition reads:
In light of the dangers facing humanity from climate change and environmental degradation - and to ensure a future of plenty and peace, I pledge my:
- action in reducing or eliminating the animal elements of my diet - major greenhouse gas emitters;
- support for all possible governmental policies that reduce or eliminate the inherently wasteful global livestock industry;
- support for reforestation programs and the release of previously grazed land to protected revegetation;
- and my support for the economic compensation of those whose livelihoods are adversely affected by these necessary changes.
I make this pledge in full knowledge of the challenge of change. However I make it with determination and enthusiasm for this transformation, for I love my planet and its people and wish a healthy and peaceful future for all. Count me among the many who want change now in reducing meat eating through wise policies and good information.
