Going just two days out of a week vegetarian can have very positive outcomes. Many different sources including the BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46459714  have confirmed that meat has a pretty negative effect on the environment so thats why taking some time to exclude meat from your diet can be very helpful.

I agree Kiran, and I think proposing that people start with small steps for sustainability is a practical approach.  Not only will it make it more likely for people to give it a try, it will (I think) make it more likely that people will hold on to their "resolutions"

I completely agree with this. According to https://www.peta.org/about-peta/faq/how … vironment/ meat is really bad for the environment because land is made for raising animals. This is mad for the soil and the plants. People cut down trees to make room for the animals, and the animal waste can pollute things such as rivers and streams

I think this is a great idea! However, I think it is also important to be wary of which specific foods you eat instead of meat. For example, according to an article by The Conversation titled "Is a vegetarian diet really more environmentally friendly than eating meat?", rice, which is produced on 12% of all of the world's arable land, has one of the highest plant carbon footprints because of the large amount of methane that is produced. Although I agree with you in the fact that we can start slowly including more vegetarian meals in our diet in an effort to be more eco-friendly, we should still be cautious of what foods we add to our meals, even if they are not meat.

I agree that we need to work on limiting our intake of meat. Specifically, if people cut out beef from their diets 1-2 times a week, that would drastically reduce their yearly footprint. According to theguardian.com, "The popular red meat requires 28 times more land to produce than pork or chicken, 11 times more water and results in five times more climate-warming emissions. When compared to staples like potatoes, wheat, and rice, the impact of beef per calorie is even more extreme, requiring 160 times more land and producing 11 times more greenhouse gases." If we stopped eating as much beef, we would be saving water, conserving land (which makes room for other foods), and reducing greenhouse gases.

I would have to agree also. Our intake on meet is affecting us and our air, and we can change that by simply making the change of eating veggies! Foods produced through meat industries are a continuous factor to global carbon emissions. It is causing a large amount of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the air which is affecting us. It is a known fact that we don't eat 70% of world grown plants but set aside 83% of our animals to raise then later eat. We need to do better. This benefits us as humans, animals, and our environment.

I agree with you. We should eat less food that is bad for the environment. I aren't vegetarians but I eat meat only three times a week. Eating more organic food and eggs can help improve the environment.

Yes I am agree I Try not to eat meat but that is not always possible for me that’s  why I just eat it when is not possible to eat something else, some people told me that makes nothing but I think if all of us make small changes that could be a big change for the climate

I am on the same page with everyone who has responded to the original post. Not only will our reduction of meat intake help the environment, but also may encourage and inspire more people around the world to do the same. In an article written about why going vegetarian is good for the environment, it describes how this is not only the most practical way of reducing your carbon footprint but also the biggest impact and difference in the environment. Though all of this information is accurate and effective, what we as humans need to remember is that we are all different. Meaning that while some people might have an easier time going vegetarian, some might have more trouble adjusting. But remember, take your time! If we gradually start to incorporate more meatless meals into our daily routine, the adjustment will become easier and will create a greater impact in the environment.

I think going two days a week as a vegitatarian is an awesome idea! It is a great idea because, it will not only be healthier but it will also lower you carbon footprint. This is also an amazing idea because it will give people an opportunity to gradually eat healthier. I love this idea so much I am probably going to try this myself. Thanks!

When looking at how bad meat may be you also have to put in where you get your meat like the meat I eat my family grows ourselves or buy from a local farm. I think that getting meat that is locally  is better for the environment then meat you buy at a store. When you buy meat at a store you also have to think about how far the meat has
travelled the farther the meat has traveled the worse it is for the environment.
