Dr Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that if there were one thing to do that would most affect climate change, it would be to stop eating meat.
Eating more vegetables is a step in the right direction!
This is easy - I love veggies!

hehe - me too. Only heavy ones though - no time for frilly stuff!

Very easy - I'm a vegaholic! (And a chocoholic, but I don't suppose we get any points for that!)

As a lapsed vegetarian, I will foreswear meat for the Canada Day holiday. Cheers from Canada by the way!

I'm not quite at 100%. But I only have some chicken some 3 times a month. No other meat.

I wish I could get the rest of my family to eat less meat as well!

The farmer's markets in my area make it so much easier to get healthy veggies.

Farmers market every Saturday in Oakland. We're on the brink of veggie season!

Veggies are great ! Shame our country veg market closed down in the last year though.

I'm an athlete and protein is essential in my diet. Is there a way I can eat more veggies and cut back on meat, but get more protein and the nutrients I need?

I went vegetarian several months ago. It's been great! I'm excited that I can help the environment, animals, my health all with one simple action. :)

"I'm an athlete and protein is essential in my diet"
There are quite a few vegan athletes out there. Even raw food athletes.
Unfortunately most sports nutrition is based on conventional nutritional "information". You will need to search wider to find alternative information.
Have a look at http://www.thegardendiet.com/ the author is a 58 year old guy who only eats a raw vegan diet and is very active (long distance running, mountaineering etc).
My son is a raw vegan and plays competitive sport at a national level.
I have even met vegetarian weight lifters.
Still, even if you stay on a cooked meat/veg diet you can still shift further towards a vegetarian diet without going all the way. It does not have to be an all or nothing proposition.

I'v been following a mostly vegetarian diet for almost a year now and I've never felt better :-D
