\"richard-joan-dinner\"Sir Richard Branson is known for many things. Now, he\u2019ll be best remembered as the flag bearer of a \u201cdon\u2019t eat so much beef\u201d idea! According to a recent blog that surfaced online on the Virgin website, Branson states that giving up on beef could reduce carbon footprints more than giving up on cars! He basis his decision to keep away from steaks on a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that \u201chas found beef production results in five times more climate-warming emissions than pork or chicken \u2013 and 11 times more than potatoes, wheat and rice.\u201d The study states that beef production needs 28 times more land to produce than chicken or pork.
\n
\nWhile this may seem strange, Branson continues to point out facts in his blog, including a UK survey by the University of Oxford that states that \u201cmeat-rich diets cause double the climate-warming emissions of vegetarian diets!\u201d changing your diet may not be something achievable over night and Branson isn\u2019t dreaming of a day everyone will drop down their beef jerky yet, but he does state that a small decrease in consumption on a personal level can lead to significant carbon footprint lightening. For more on this, tweet with #giveupbeef!<\/p>\n
