Best online resources for vegetarian/vegan effects on the planet

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy (and others),

 

These are the best online veg-environmental resources I know of:

 

http://www.earthsave.bc.ca/intro/

 

http://www.emagazine.com/view/?142

 

http://www.time.com/time/reports/v21/health/meat.html

 

 

[These links are all available on my website:

http://www.christianveg.com/environlinks.htm ]

 

Except for this TIME magazine cover story:

 

www.time.com/time/covers/1101020715

 

And of course there is Bruce Friedrich's excellent, concise and comprehensive

essay VEGANISM IN A

NUTSHELL available online and on cassette and CD:

 

http://www.goveg.com/feat/nutshell-brucespeak.html

 

This is what I had to say about it:

 

If anyone today is qualified to explain veganism, it is PETA's Bruce Friedrich.

Even if one

disagrees with animal rights, Bruce still shows why becoming vegan today is

something they can and

should do. A brilliant, passionate defender of compassion and reason in this age

of cruelty,

indifference and insanity, I am honored to call him a friend.

 

--Nathan Braun, founder and President, Christian Vegetarian Association

 

Finally, there is also my book with Dr. Kaufman, Good News.. (available free

online @

christianveg.com; and at Books Etc. in SFO), and the one it is loosely based on

and inspired by:

the excellent work by Richard Schwartz, also available online at both:

 

http://www.jewishveg.com

http://schwartz.enviroweb.org

 

Does anybody know of any others???

PS The Toronto Vegetarian Association, and EarthSave Canada (referenced earlier)

have good,

PDF-format essays on the topic available on their website(s), under " Feature

Articles, " (under

" Resources " ) etc. PETA has the attached PDF and some " Earth Day " resources, but

not much else I

can find readily.

 

**If someone has time/effort/inclination, all these resources should be compiled

on one blog/site,

to evolve into a book: VEGETARIANISM, WORLD HUNGER & THE ENVIRONMENT.
