As caring citizens of this great nation, we are deeply concerned
about global warming and its consequences to our planet.

NASA scientists recently discovered that Arctic ice has been
melting significantly more quickly than expected due to global
warming. In fact, they predict that all Arctic ice could be gone
by the summer of 2012 – a catastrophe beyond imagination. 

It is now well accepted that the warming of our planet is a
consequence of the greenhouse gases generated during various human
activities. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization, the animal livestock industry is responsible for 18%
of all greenhouse gas emissions. This is even higher than the
greenhouse emissions from all forms of transportation combined!

Given this fact, one of the most effective solutions to the global
warming crisis would be to reduce our consumption of meat.  We feel
that if more people understood the dire consequences of the meat
based diet, they would be willing to make the sacrifices necessary
for the common good. Reduction of meat consumption would also bring
with it benefits to the environment as well as to the health of our
citizens. People need to be informed of this! Of course, reduction
of meat consumption is only one approach, and must be combined
with efforts toward sustainable and renewable energy. 

We urge that the U.S. Government seriously explore strategies and
make effective policies toward preventing the worst scenario from
happening in four years. Only in this way can this great nation,
which has been such an influential world leader, continue to be a
prosperous home for all the many generations to come. For more
detailed information on global warming and greenhouse gases
emitted by raising livestock, please read the enclosed reprint of
“Rethinking the Meat-Guzzler” by Mark Bittman (January 27, 2008
New York Times). Thank you for your noble efforts to save
mankind.


Sincerely yours,


Concerned Citizens
