There's a new website in town, Part-Time Carnivore, which encourages you to go easy on the meat.
You're no doubt aware that by cutting our meat consumption we can reduce both our carbon footprints and our demand on the world's agricultural land. However, as a nation of meat-lovers we don't relish the possibility of giving it up!
Therefore, Part-Time Carnivore is attempting to make the subject of meat reduction a tasty idea to the meat-loving majority. They have five options that are designed to suit different lifestyles: Meat-Free Mondays, Vegging-Out, Meat-On/Meat-Off, Meating-Out or Meaty Sundays.
Each option comes with estimated weekly savings of land and CO2 and the website keeps a running total for everyone who signs up. At the same time as cutting consumption, part-time carnivores are encouraged to swap intensively reared imported meat for locally sourced alternatives.
