Default Which do you prefer?

There are at least three advisable things to do to live greener and help the environment: stopping to eat meat, riding bicycle and being a frugal consumer. Just curious, to help the environment, do you prefer not to eat meat or to ride bicycle?

I wouldn't do either I'm afraid. The roads are too full of mad car and truck drivers to feel safe riding a bicycle and although I don't eat a lot of meat, I am partial to the odd bacon sandwich or chicken curry. The worst thing wrong with this world is overpopulation. Sort that and you sort the rest.

I think I am a little partial when it comes to meat eating as well, its not something I do a great deal of (paste is more my thing) but it has been known to happen.

Bikes in my area would not work either, even in the best of shape some of the hills around here would be the death of me.

I live 7 miles from the nearest town with goods and services, so riding a bicycle isn't an option. I could very easily live without red meat, and raise my own chickens for the white meat.

I love meat a bit too much to give it up, so I would have to say I would ride a bike. I love riding my bike with my boyfriend. I still need to work out a bit more though, because I get winded so easily lately. It's really sad, because I'm not fat. I know I need to eat better.

I love riding bicycle but it's not practical for me to do it to go to work. Could I just opt to be a frugal consumer? It helps the environment also, right?

By the way, I read in a book that if meat consumption was reduced by 20%, it would be the equivalent of shifting all cars from petrol to hybrids.

I would not eat meat. I don't eat much meat now and the nearest town is 15 miles away, too far to ride a bicycle. I don't know how anyone can eat meat today anyway, if they know how it is raised.

It's a good point and I am with you on this. You would not eat it if you knew the way it is raised, slaughtered and packed. And today it's not so hard to find information about that.
