Meat-eaters often argue that vegetarianism won't save the planet. They're partly right: abstaining from eating animal flesh is not going to help Mother Nature if the same people doing this waste water, don't recycle or separate their trash and continue be liberal with fossil fuel consumption.
Yet we have to start somewhere, and vegetarianism is as good a starting point as any. Trust me, once you open your mind and start looking at where your food comes from, you naturally become more conscientious and aware of how your actions impact the environment.
This is not new information of course, dozens if not hundreds of articles on vegetarianism helping our planet are out there in cyberspace. But most of us live at breakneck speeds, and every now and then, we need that gentle reminder to stop us in our tracks and be more aware of what we are doing. Or as John Vidal from The Guardian says in his article: "It's time to think of waste as well as taste".
