FARM Takes a Bite Out of Global Warming

FARM’s new Bite Global Warming campaign has been a huge success.

The campaign publicizes the findings of a recent United Nations report that animal agriculture accounts for 18% of greenhouse gases - more than automobiles!

The campaign follows four tracks:

• Posting giant billboards in six metropolitan areas
• Production of posters, T-shirts, and postcards documenting the link between meat production and global warming
• Distribution of 12,500 postcards in scores of Earth Day observances.
• Publication of lettters to the editor in nearly 50 newspapers.

Please visit our Global Warming website to check out our campaign materials and to find out how to get involved in this crucial campaign.
