Has anybody actually put a comment on here? I've only seen a couple of other pro veggie/vegan posts. Quote from one of the posts by the Guardian's environment editor; 'Thanks to everyone who has commented on Tread lightly, even those of you who don't agree with it. However, most of you appear to think it's worth trying to do something to reduce our CO2 emissions. I know many of you will have switched to energy efficient light bulbs years ago, but there are still thousands of people out there who haven't got round to it, for whatever reason. We thought we'd start with an easy pledge, rather than ask people to give up their car when public transport isn't a viable alternative in some areas as greeninwales points out. We describe Tread lightly as a 'painless carbon diet' because we want to demonstrate that by creating a green online community committed to live a lower-carbon lifestyle we can swap tips and adviceto make the process much easier. For those of you who already have energy efficient light bulbs, look out for our second pledge later this week. You can still enter the Tread lightly competition to win a G-Wiz by signing up to any of the weekly pledges before the end of November. And no, we're not saying lifestyle changes are all that any of us can do. Lobbying politicians is important. We're taking note of all your suggestions for future pledges, even the one about becoming vegan, so keep them coming.Tread lightly is at www.guardian.co.uk/environment/treadlightly'

The Tread Lightly pledge this week is to reduce meat consumption. Their targets are really ambitious Obviously none of us can pledge to eat less meat but you can comment on the blog here. Its a bit quiet there so far...
