What’s the easiest, most effective way to impact the environment according the
United Nations Report “Livestock’s Long Shadow”?
Green Your Plate! Show Mother Earth some love by eating a diet free of products which create methane gas, the deadliest form of greenhouse gas on planet Earth. According to the U.N. Report “
Livestock Impacts On The Environment”, the meat and diary industries are responsible for producing the methane gas which creates “18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than that of transport” worldwide.
So in order to truly be Earth Friendly or Green, we must reduce or eliminate meats (including seafood), dairy (milk and butter) and eggs from our diets. Hence
Green Your Plate!
So where do you begin? Let’s start here:
10 EASY TIPS TO GREEN YOUR PLATE & CUP:
1. Eat 1 meatless meal a day. Skip eating meat, eggs & dairy for breakfast and save money!
2. Use Soy Milk*, Rice Milk* or Hemp Milk* in your morning cereal.
3. Use a Soy Creamer like Silk's Creamer* in your morning cup of Joe.
4. Use a Soy Butter substitute like Earth Balance Buttery Sticks* to "butter" your bread, toast, bagel or muffin.
5. Switch to a Soy Mayonnaise substitute like Follow Your Heart Vegenaise* available online at

7. Have all the vegan plant based meat substitutes shipped right to your front door, by shopping at
www.vegieworld.com or by phoning them at 212.334.4428. My favorite is their Vegetarian Smoked Ham that you slice for sandwiches or can use as to cook with as a ham substitute. What are the best reasons to shop at this “vegetarian meat market”?
a. Their veggie meats come in family friendly sizes and will not break the bank!
b. The list of ingredients is posted with a picture of each item.
c. Great customer service. Feel free to call them if you have any questions about their products or want to know to use a product.
d. They carry every "fake plant based meat" you could ever dream of...

10. Support local organic, family owned farms by buying fresh produce at your local Farmer's Markets. Why? Because healthy farms = a healthy Mother Earth.
