  10. How much meat DO American's eat? *The Average American eats about 8 ounces of meat a day. That is half a pound! By deciding as a group to abstain from meat for a day, our group of ten people saved five pounds of meat.

  11. Our Meatless Monday saved.. • 5 pounds of meat. • 8,995 gallons of water. • 120 pounds ofmanure was eliminated • All of this was just because of 10 people not eating meat for one day!

  12. Meatless Monday every week? Suppose 10 people didn't eat meat every Monday for a year.... • 260 pounds of meat would not be consumed! • 467,740 gallons of water would be saved! • 6,240 pounds of manure from animals would be eliminated!
