Lord Stern on Veg diet




In Oct 09, Lord Stern, Chief Economist, Author of 2006 Stern Review on Economics of climate change, urge the world to adopt the vegetarian diet to curb global warming.

Lord Stern, believes that the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December
should call for an increase in the price of meat and other foods that contribute to climate change.

In an interview with "The Times", he said: Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the worlds resources. A vegetarian diet is better.
