Here at The Greenists, we don’t judge people for eating meat — but we can’t ignore the fact that a vegetarian diet is much less taxing on the planet than a carnivorous one. One of my friends recently saw this TED Talk video, and it inspired him to become a weekday vegetarian — someone who goes vegetarian during the week and saves the meat for the weekends. If you’re looking to reduce the amount of meat in your diet, this is a great way to do it without going cold turkey (no pun intended).

Do you eat meat for every meal? Have you made an effort to cut down? How did you do it?
