2. A Jarring Bean Drop
After a meatless Monday, drop one bean per personper meatless day in the jar in Fellowship Hall. What does the bean represent? You can conserve energy and water, improve your health, save money, and fight climate change by eating vegetarian one day each week. Producing meat requires far more energy and water than producing the equivalent protein from vegetables, and it costs more and generates more greenhouse gases. So let's conserve by going vegetarian at least once a week. Let's see how fast we can fill the jar!
