I agree. We've been cutting back on meat a bit and trying to buy it locally when possible. We found a little farm about 20 minutes from where we live that raises grass-finished, free-roaming beef.

Anything you can buy that is locally grown will help reduce your carbon footprint immensely. Eating more greens and less meat will contribute to this as well.
