How does becoming a vegan reduce CO2. Just because we don’t eat meat doesn’t stop livestock from producing CO2. Besides we need vitamins and minerals that we receave from meat.

Regarding tip#3, another solution is to use a spin dryer. Spin dryers use a small fraction of the energy that a tumble dryer does and are gentler on the clothes (so they will last longer). Not everybody can or is willing to line dry, and this gives people another alternative to the tumble dryer. More information is available at http://www.laundry-alternative.com/drying.htm

There is no such thing as “vegan day” no more than there is such a thing as a “gay day” or “non pedophile day”?? Being Vegan is an ethical way of life towards all Sentient Beings, all the time, not on a special day. You can’t just one day be a Vegan no more than you could say you are not going to molest children or enslave people or have sex with the same sex on any given day because its the best thing not to do. Its not a diet or fad! Its about NOT abusing living Beings EVER again for our taste buds, fashion sense, and etc… ok:)?! get it??!

While flying is a fast-growing emitter of GHG’s it is responsible for less than 2% of global emissions (Stern Report). Less flying is good, but there may be a counter argument to consider. As highlighted in Bali, deforestation in the poor South is responsible for 30% of global GHG emissions! Most of these forests and woodlands’ are located in the South, and their survival, in Africa at least, are dependent on ecotourism – visits from you guys in the rich North. And there are few practical ways of visiting these longhaul destinations other than flying. Ships? Yes, if you have the time. Hopefully carbon offsetting schemes will include “avoided deforestation” projects in the not-too-distant-future. Some reflections on the dilemma:
Carbon Offsets: should you buy absolution.
