Going Green in 2008

As you can see from the new color scheme, we're serious about being greener this year. Now it may be the popular thing to go out and buy a Prius so we cut down on vehicle emissions while idling in the Starbucks drive-thru, but this family is looking to have a bigger impact on the environment. We are personally taking on a source of greenhouse emissions that, according to a recent UN study, releases more greenhouse gases than cars, planes, and all other forms of transportation combined: COWS. A single cow emits between 25 and 130 gallons of methane every day, a gas with 21 times the warming potential of CO2. To stop this global calamity from getting any worse, I personally resolve to eat as much beef as I can this year. Every steak is a step in the right direction, and this summer, I fully intend to cook said steaks on my charcoal grill to help this nation end its dependence on foreign propane.
