Al Gore Says Buy Less Meat

The Guardian reports that Al Gore’s top tips for saving the planet emphasize “conscious consumerism with regard to everything you buy, both in the marketplace and in the investments you make.” These are the examples he cites:

Switch to green power

Buy locally grown food, and organic where possible

Buy fresh food over frozen

Buy less meat

Offset your impact on the planet’s resources by investing in renewable energy projects

It is significant that Al Gore includes in his list of action steps for people to take to help stop global warming the urge to consume less meat.
