Opinion: One way to save the Colorado River? Give up a hamburger
… I asked my boss about his restaurant choice. He said he’d gone vegan after learning how much Colorado River water irrigates cattle feed — almost a third of all river consumption, according to a recent study. His comment made me reconsider my own beef consumption. … And most Angelenos would find eating one less burger a week much easier than tearing out their lawns (which I also advocate!).
