Going Green: Worth the Effort?

There was an informative article on MSN by Ann Monroe today about the economical aspects of "going green." . You see, there is a growing awareness that the livestock industry contributes a great deal of nitrogen gases into the air, contributing to pollution. As a result, many ecologically aware individuals are becoming vegetarian. Some feel that it is also necessary to buy only locally produced, and organically produced, foods. However, a vegetarian diet, even an organically grown one, is still going to be less expensive than that of one consisting of animal products. That I am sure of. In fact, another article in MSN by Scott McCredie also confirms that. However, if youre vegetarian and you decide to go organic, there may be large increases in your budget. And, in addition to saving money on your grocery bill, there are also the incalculable benefits you will derive in your health. And that is a fact. In fact, insurance companies are encouraging their members to become vegetarian. The video attached here is narrated by Alec Baldwin, who has been a vegetarian now for 14 years.
