One Peanut Butter and Jelly at a Time.Seriously. <a href="http://www.pbjcampaign.org/">The PB&J Campaign</a> is all about global warming (excuse me, Climate Change). <br /><br />Here's a brief little bit from their home page:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A PB&J will slow global warming. </span><br /><br />Next time you have one you'll reduce your carbon footprint by saving the equivalent of 2.5 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions over an average animal-based lunch like a hamburger, a tuna sandwich, grilled cheese, or chicken nuggets. <br /><br />That's about forty percent of what you'd save driving around for the day in a hybrid instead of a standard sedan. <br /><br />If you have a PB&J instead of a ham sandwich or a hamburger, you save the equivalent almost 3.5 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A PB&J will also save water. </span><br /><br />That's about 280 gallons of water over the hamburger. To put this in perspective, three PB&Js a month instead of hamburgers will save about as much water as switching to a low-flow showerhead.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A PB&J will save land. </span><br /><br />Have a PB&J and save 12 to 50 square feet of land from deforestation, over-grazing, and pesticide and fertilizer pollution.Cody Swatekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06197229139342615243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835423706982713991.post-33994420213469315942008-02-28T00:24:00.004-07:002008-02-28T16:01:56.850-07:00Commando Cody!Gotta love the 1950's It's funny because my Steampunk name is going to be "Commander Cody Von Swatek!" <br /><br />Coincidence?
