Meatless Mondays in May...
If you recycle to be kind to the environment, you probably do other things too. Drive less? Bike more? Change your lightbulbs to CFLs? Buy Energy Star appliances? Adjust your thermostats?
Did you know that eating less meat is one of the most effective things we can do to mitigate climate change? In fact, it is far more effective than recycling. Let's take a step to being greener as a community. Let's go Meatless on Mondays in May, together!
Read more about this campaign at Meatless Mondays in May...MMM!
While you are there, why not..
- Make a Pledge to go Meatless on Mondays in May
- Comment on the blog to let us know your top 5 South Loop restaurants you'd like to see participate in MMM!
- Spread the word!
And just for fun....Why not take the What Do YOU Think Poll: what are the top 3 things you think that people can do to make a difference in mitigating climate change? |
