Quote of the Month

“The silver lining is that this is one of the easiest ways for individuals to reduce their environmental footprint. Whereas switching to a hybrid car or worrying about coal stacks may be beyond our daily means, choosing more plant-based meals is something where we can stand up for animals and the environment every time we sit down to eat.”

-- Paul Shapiro, senior director of the Humane Society’s Factory Farming Campaign
