Meat Consumption and Global Warming

If everyone in America went vegetarian for 7 days a week, that would be the same as taking all cars off US roads. Vegetarian for 6 days=the total electricity use of all households in the US. Vegetarian for 5 days=planting 13 billion trees and letting them grow for 10 years. Veg for 4 days=halving the domestic use of all electricity, gas, oil, petrol, and kerosene in the US. Veg for 3 day=300 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. Veg for 2 days=replacing all household appliances with energy efficient ones. Veg for 1 day a week would be like saving 90 million plane tickets from New York to LA.
