"According to an extensive U.N. report from 2006, the livestock industry not only uses more land than any other human activity; it's also one of the largest contributors to water pollution and a bigger source of greenhouse-gas emissions than all the world's trains, planes, and automobiles combined." http://www.slate.com/id/2217022/

It would be a bit better if the the South Americans would stop cutting down the rain forests, the Eastern Europeans and Asians would filter their industial exhausts and if the mining companies would replace the greenery they strip away after they are done with their strip mining. Those are better places to start because that is what is causing the most damage.

No!!!!!!!!!
