Not Eating Meat Can Cut Your Food-Related Carbon Emissions Almost In Half, Study Finds
If you're trying to reduce your carbon footprint, you may want to think twice next time you reach for a burger. According to a new study, people with a high-meat diet contribute more than twice the diet-related greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere as a vegan, and a little less than twice the emissions of a vegetarian.

They stand to lose millions in future personal wealth. The rest us just stand to lose a decent environment to live in. But what's more important, the environment we all live in or a few getting obscenely rich!)
