Peanut Butter Sandwiches Save The World
Who knew, but apparently eating peanut Butter sandwiches is good for the environment. According to PBJCampaing.org eating a vegetarian lunch like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, saves water, uses less land and will even slow down global warming. How you may ask … the basic idea is that you replace a lunch including meat like a cheeseburger for example with a plant based one like a pb&j sandwich. It takes a lot less energy, land and water to produce the peanuts and make the peanut butter than it does to raise a cow that is then turned into that hamburger patty residing on your bun.
It’s an interesting idea and what I really like about it is the fact that I don’t have to make any huge changes to my habits to have a positive impact. I don’t think I could become a fulltime vegetarian, I just love a good steak or burger to much for that, but I can replace some of my meals with vegetarian options. Not only is it good for the environment, it’s also good for my body.
