Our life-giving planet in agony gasps for breath

As Man's barbaric actions are choking it to death*

I am happy to meet a fellow Vegan, The greenhouse gasses and land used for grazing meat is a the main cause of our planets destruction. That the bible encourages the sacrifice of animals who have feelings just like us is very sad. It is why I don't even use my computer much, I think we must practice what we preach, I use computer now and then, Do not take Planes or travel, I buy local produce, I don't support those who import or export food, causes more pollution than the benefits.
