Personal and institutional accountability

It is always important to balance personal changes, like buying local food, with a mass confrontation of an unjust and destructive global system. So often in the environmental movement, demanding widespread change stops at our personal doorsteps - how far can "living by example" really take us? It seems that with all movements, all fronts must be pursued at once. Both making changes within our own life, like consumer choices, as well as taking action and demanding a more sustainable system.

Agriculture and livestock production is a perfect example of this and it is great to hear that this issue is starting to get more attention in the mainstream media.

Check out this online campaign that directly tackles the issue. The "No Meat Week" campaign is trying to raise awareness about the meat industry's contribution to global warming by acknowledging people's power to change their personal habits as well as the industries themselves.
