rainforest action network (RAn) launches
live green // eat green campaign
We absolutely love the folks over at the Rainforest Action Network (RAN), a well-respected environmental organization that campaigns for the forests, their inhabitants and natural systems that sustain life. They recognize that animal agriculture is the leading cause of environmental degradation and for that reason they have instituted a *veg* food policy for their sponsored events. They've also launched a campaign called LIVE GREEN // EAT GREEN, which nudges their supporters and the public to eat more plant-based foods.
Here's a sampling of how this one organization is promoting healthy, sustainable, and animal-friendly living to their more than 200,000 supporters on social media.

We are drinking the state dry to produce an unsustainable food source that is crippling our environment.

As antibiotics from farmed animals leach into the environment, a 2012 Stanford review found that organic meat had more harmful pathogens than conventional meat due to the lack of antibiotics.

We encourage you to share these memes with your friends and networks on social media too. Let's create a buzz about green eating and animal friendly menu policies!
And kudos to RAN for setting this important bar in the environmental field. We hope more more organizations adopt an animal friendly menu policy.
