Got ethics? www.facebook.com/cowspiracymovie/photos/a.224977341027129.1073741828.183622415162622/405131813011680/?type=1&theater - well worth a watch.

It's on youTube too

Everyone should watch this. If you care about the planet and environment then watch this. If you've even turned out a lightbulb to "do your bit for the planet" or pledged to walk more instead of drive in order to save the world then watch this.

Leaving this here for balance

I watched it and felt guilty afterwards, but what can you do? I know people who are vegans and they all seem to eat a lot of processed foods. I prefer to eat butter and cheese than margarine and substitutes, but I feel guilty supporting the dairy industry.

I avoid man made fibres, but I know that cotton is a huge drain on resources. I recycle, but I'm told much of that will end up in landfill.

I try to buy less, and I do buy second hand here and there, but it's quicker to order new.

There's always something more to do, but I suppose so long as we're doing our best, that's better than doing nothing. For most people, eating less meat is probably a more realistic goal than eating none.

@Cynderella totally agree

@Cynderella I completely agree with you.

I just watched it based on this recommendation. I thought that the one guy he interviewed saying that meatless Monday was not a positive thing because people are still eating meat unsustainably for the other 6 days of the week was absolutely ridiculous! I mean I get that he's saying it's not enough and we need to stop altogether to make the drastic charges necessary but we do need to be realistic! Rome wasn't built in a day! We are trying to seriously reduce our waste and plastic consumption in my household and if I thought it was all or nothing I'd be no where. Meatless Monday's are a positive step in the right direction. If everyone gave up meat for just one day a week it would have a massive impact. Ludicrous!
