There is growing support for vegetarianism. For example, schools across England and the U.S. hold
“Meat Free Mondays” to show students how easy it is to eat less meat. Some people go one step further and eat a vegan diet, which excludes all animal products such as cheese, eggs, and milk. However, some nutritionists believe that a vegan diet may deprive us of vitamins and minerals that are essential to our health.
One does not have to become vegan or fully vegetarian to help save the environment. Whether it’s just being vegetarian for one day a week—or just eating less meat—a small effort on our part can go a long way.
