Meatless Monday

Yesterday marked my first meatless Monday. Recently I have decided to undertake a new personal endeavour, one of vegetarianism. So to begin I have committed to eating nothing with a face every Monday, or Meatless Mondays as I elect to call it. This is not some self-entitled extremists quest. Simply put I chose to do this for two reasons. First, to reduce my carbon footprint. And second to pare down my resource consumption to be more on par with the greater world. But that is not to say that this current attempt will not yield health benefits while contributing to a more humane approach to our treatment of animals. So for now I give it a go and see how I feel. If I find that my energy remains consistent all the while reducing my carbon footprint and food costs, then I may look to expand. In time you may find I reserve the consumption of meat to weekends. For now I have reduced my meat consumption carbon footprint by 14% annually.
