Green Living Tips - Eat Less Meat

Hey everyone! I am Eric Rochow, and this is Real World Green. Today, here is our practical green tip and that is, try eating less meat. There you go, eat more of this, pretty simple, right. But seriously this is coming from Eric who is a reformed vegetarian. I became the last vegetarian, I couldn't stand walking by tho sausage carts on 6th Avenue anymore, and this was like --

So now I eat meat but I don't eat a ton of it and I don't eat it every day. So my suggestion to you is to take one day of the week and consider not eating meat eat that day but eating mainly vegetables. I am not saying be a macrobiotic or a vegan or anything like that.

But truth be told it takes less water and less energy to create a pound of vegetables than it does to create a pound of meat. And I know there is a lot of discussion about this as to what the actual number is, I don't know what the actual number, I do know it takes less water and energy to create vegetables than it does to create beef or pork or chicken for that matter.

So consider that, less meat more broccoli. This stuff really is good for you, it's crunchy and it's good for you. That's what I like. Come to Green House, green-house.tv. See you.
