I'm doing a paper on how I believe to call yourself an environmentalist you must be a vegetarian. My main points will be the fact that dairy cows pollute water, the amount of water needed to produce meat and various other reasons such as soil erosion, greenhouse gases etc.

Does anyone know of any great books or websites on this topic? I would love some great sources rather from what I can come up with from google.com and the information I've already read from Diet For a New America.

Diet for a New America is a pretty old source. Robbins' The Food Revolution is a bit more recent, as is Lappe's Hope's Edge : The Next Diet for a Small Planet.

I just had a thread going on wasting water by eating meat:

Two links you can check out from that thread:

Jane Goodall book: Harvest for Hope: a guide to mindful eating would be a good source.

Michael Pollan's new book *The Omnivore's Dilemma* is not a veg book, and the author isn't veg, but is very useful for info regarding agriculture, meat, vegetarianism, organics, and the environment.
