Go Meat Free for Earth Month

A thought from our friends at ECOS this April for Earth Month...

Did you know that you can reduce your environmental impact by eating less meat, or cutting it out of your diet altogether? It takes 150 gallons of water to produce one quarter-pound hamburger versus 60 gallons of water to produce one pound of wheat. Meat production causes more negative environmental damage than growing fruits and vegetables for consumers. Look for delicious plant-based recipes online, made with grains, beans, and veggies, throughout the month of April to reduce your environmental impact.
