    Save Energy/Have More Energy

    This article asks for....Common Sense, please!

    While I begged the case just last week for altering one's diet to effect positive change on Global Warming, I'd be the first to tell you it's not the ONLY thing which needs to be done.

    Hardly.

    WHY can't human beings see that a solution to a given problem is more likely, when multiple strategies are applied?

    Thus, we can drive less often, drive a fuel-efficient vehicle, and, if you don't want to go vegan, or even vegetarian, try eating LESS meat.You'll reduce energy consumption, and by consuming less meat, you'll actually possess more energy yourself--of another kind!

    For more on this topic, check out my Monday, October 15th post(including quotes from Ariana Huffington), at my Blog, at:

    Peace.
