Do more to protect planet earth

I AM totally with Mangai Balasegaram in “Put down that chicken leg” (Human Writes, June 11). Yes, we really need to go meatless, even for one day. I will round up some friends to go vegetarian, at least for a day.

And there is also the issue of eating locally. Eating food that is grown close to where you buy it from will help reduce carbon emissions, as the food is transported over shorter distances. And it would also support local farmers.

Even when you go on holiday, eat what locals eat at your destinations.

We need to do more to protect our planet earth. So walk the talk here, do other things too, like conserve water and save electricity, and always reuse and recycle. MK
