“Smoking pot, if you were to grow it yourself, would not be bad for the environment. The real environmental problem would involve the need to ship it long distances. Also, when people are high, they’re happy doing nothing which is better for the environment than doing alot of things. Granted, life is ABOUT doing things, so everything in moderation. Of course there is the whole “moral” issue with drugs, but I’ll leave that alone. I don’t smoke, so it’s not really an issue for me.
Drinking coffee is also affected by the way it’s grown and by whom. If you stick to organic and free trade, it’s no worse than anything else one might do. I’m not a fan of coffee, it doesn’t agree with me.
Eating meat is awful for the environment, but again it depends on what your source is. If it’s factory farmed…good night, it’s terrible for the environment. If it’s sustainably hunted, or humanely and organically raised, then it’s better. The problem with meat is that it’s hard to stop when it’s what you’re used to. It’s also hard when you live in an area where there aren’t alot of easy alternatives. It’s very easy to go veg in the big city, but not so much in a smaller town. I’m personally doing what I can in this area. Tonight, I gave the Burger King Vegi burger a try. Not terrible.”
