Check out a quote from this article about the demo: 'Leather-production facilities destroy nearby waterways and delicate eco-systems in the water resources,' PETA Campaign Manager N.G. Jayasimha told IANS. 'The energy consumed and pollution produced by the leather industry makes it a leading factor in global warming, which is endangering polar bears and their habitat,' he said. Leather is the most important by-product of the meat industry, so it directly contributes to the cruelty in factory farms and slaughterhouses. And according to a 2006 United Nations report, raising animals for food creates more greenhouse gasses than all trucks, cars, planes, and ships in the world combined. The damage caused by India's leather industry makes our country a major contributor to global warming and the further endangerment of polar bears and their natural habitat. So just give leather the boot in honor of World Environment Day, and help do your bit to save the environment and animals.

I wish more people were cognizant of this fact. A meat-based diet requires 7 times more land than a plant-based diet. Eating a vegetarian diet has never made more sense -- it's good for the earth, your health and animals, too.
