Sustainable Lifestyle

A question was put to me, what are you going to change in your life to be more sustainable? I took time to examine my daily activities and have come to the conclusion that the thing I can change now is the way I eat. There are several sustainability issues dealing with agriculture and in general the poster child for excess is the Food Industry. I am proposing to do is to give up eating fast foods, and cut my consumption of meat products to one servings a day.  That is roughly 1.5lbs of meat a week resulting in a net 33% reduction in meat consumption/year. I am also proposing to consume less beef, has beef farming is less sustainable then most other farming. I will also give up eating at Fast Food restaurants.
