A 2011 report by the Environmental Working Group found that eating one fewer burger every week for a year was the equivalent of taking your car off the road for more than 500 kilometres, and if everyone in the U.S. ate no meat or cheese just one day a week for a year it would be equivalent to taking 7.6 million cars off the road. People are starting to take notice of the environmental and health benefits of this. The City of Vancouver, for example, proclaimed June 12 to be Meatless Monday, making it the first in Canada to take action on this issue. davidsuzuki.org/blogs/panther-lounge/2013/09/beef-to-beans-understanding-the-impacts-of-our-protein-consumption/
