Many students on campus have a new way of going green these days and
it's all about eliminating the red.

Being vegetarian, or not eating meat, is one way students can
contribute to saving the globe. Not to be confused with vegans (people
who eat no animal products such as eggs or cheese) vegetarians do not
eat meat. Some will eat seafood while others will not, but abstaining
from meat has positive effects for the global environment and
resources.

"We spend a lot of farmland growing food for animals," Brother Dan
Klco, a professor in the biology department, said.

In fact, about 40 percent of food grown worldwide is for animals. In
more developed countries the percentage is as high as 70 percent. In
addition to using land and food for animals, Americans spend a lot of
other resources to maintain a very large and corn-fed cattle
population, Klco said.
