Here is your green tip of the week from ECO-St. Lo, your award-winning local environment group.

Join the worldwide meatless Monday movement!

Going meatless once a week may reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help reduce your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the meat industry generates nearly one-fifth of the man-made greenhouse gas emissions that are accelerating climate change worldwide . . far more than transportation. And annual worldwide demand for meat continues to grow. Reining in meat consumption once a week can help slow this trend.

So skip meat once a week-or more!

Do you have a career in mind, but would like to get a closer look? You should look intodrive a potential career option. It is a great way to confirm your career choice or discover a new one!
