Meanwhile, it was brought to my attention that there was a global warming and vegetarianism related article in this weekend's TODAY newspaper. Recently, we have been seeing more and more "Go veg" articles sprouting in the newspapers. It seem that the awareness of global warming and Dr Rajendra Pachauri's message to eat 1 vegetarian meal a week will go a long way! Click on image to enlarge.

I've noticed a similar phenomenon in Finland -- there has been more and more positive press coverage about vegetarianism and even veganism, especially in articles about global warming.
It would seem that there are a lot of people who find new reasons to look at veganism seriously in view of its low carbon footprint, people who were not that convinced about the animal rights arguments.
Of course, for vegans there not much new information here, but it's always nice to notice positive coverage of veganism in mainstream media.
Finally...this is the one environmental issue that always seems to be overlooked in the media.
