Interesting facts to slyly tell everyone:
You can save more water by not eating one pound of beef than you do by not showering for one year.

5000 gallons of water produce 1lb. of meat
25 gal. produces 1lb. of wheat

More than 1/3 of all fossil fuels produced in the U.S. are used to raise animals.

The U.N. stated that animals produce more greenhouse gases than every form of transportation combined.

Going vegan saves water, oil, our health, and the environment!
