Louie G Is Saving the Earth One PB & J Sandwich at a Time

All this time I thought my love for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches was just a way to relive my youth. See, when I was a kid we didn't worry about calories, fat or sodium. 

Not only are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches the perfect sandwich and snack but having just one SAVES THE EARTH!

• One sandwich reduces your carbon footprint by saving the equivalent of 2.5 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions over an average animal-based lunch like a hamburger, a tuna sandwich, grilled cheese, or chicken nuggets.
• If you have a PB & J instead of a ham sandwich or a hamburger, you save the equivalent almost 3.5 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.
• A PB&J will also save about 280 gallons of water over the hamburger. To put this in perspective, three PB&Js a month instead of hamburgers will save about as much water as switching to a low-flow showerhead.
• A PB&J will save 12 to 50 square feet of land from deforestation, over-grazing, and pesticide and fertilizer pollution.

Keep those PB & J sandwiches coming!
