We all know the arguments that being vegetarian is better for the environment and for the animals -- but in a carnivorous culture, it can be hard to make the change. For those of you who just cannot give up your meat, there are other options. Not everyone can go whole hog (quite the pun...) and become vegetarian, let alone vegan. We tend to be an "all or nothing" culture, however, there are alternatives. For instance, my family eats mostly vegan at home, but when they go out, they can have other choices.

Graham Hill has a powerful, pragmatic suggestion: Be a weekday veg. Listen to this short video where he describes the the logical choice & enormous benefits of giving up meat just during the week.  Graham Hill is the founder of TreeHugger.com; he travels the world to tell the story of sustainability.
