Environmental Benefits of Meatless Monday

Saving Water 1 pound of beef = 1799 gallons of water Benefits: No aquifer depletion Water is not being polluted

No Animal Waste Produced 1 pound of beef = 24 pounds of manure Benefits: No water pollution No air pollution

Less Crops Need to Be Grown Law of Entropy Plants to Cow to Human vs. Plants to Human Benefits: Less land space needed Less pesticides used Less fertilizer used Less fossil fuels burned to run the tractors Less water pollution and dead zones Less soil deprivation and land erosion

How much meat DO American's eat? *The Average American eats about 8 ounces of meat a day. That is half a pound! By deciding as a group to abstain from meat for a day, our group of ten people saved five pounds of meat.

Our Meatless Monday saved.. 5 pounds of meat. 8,995 gallons of water. 120 pounds of manure was eliminated All of this was just because of 10 people not eating meat for one day!

Meatless Monday every week? Suppose 10 people didn't eat meat every Monday for a year.... o 260 pounds of meat would not be consumed! o 467,740 gallons of water would be saved! o 6,240 pounds of manure from animals would be eliminated!
