Well I love a good burger as well and wouldn't think about not eating one. But here's a suggestion to "balance" out your desire for a burger and the ecological cost behind making one. For every burger you eat, try and recycle more, stop drinking bottled water (think of the landfil pollution), try and walk or ride your bike to save on the pollution from your car or mass transit bus or train. Start using a "green" grocery bag, instead of plastic or paper (now imagine if we all did this simple thing). Shop at a farmers market for your produce, instead of having them shipped across the country or half way around the world. And buy organic, where there is no run off into our rivers and streams from the pesticides and herbicides. I think if you (we) all do a few of these things we can all enjoy our guilt free burger.
