i think that having warning labels on meat is a great idea, but i think the labels should be serious and actually state the facts like the labels on cigarette packets like 'meat is the number one cause of global warming' rather than something like 'meat sucks', it will make people take it more seriously.
Great campaign! I think if more people really thought about what meat does to the environment they would consider vegetarianism.(of course the way the animals are treated should be enough of a reason.)
I think my label would say: "Eating Flesh = Killing the Planet"
Meat is so nice though... Screw the animals!
And how is it killing the planet?! Every day cows produce hundreds of cubic metres of methane, known to be much worse for global warming and the environment than carbon dioxide. Killing these animals slows down global warming! Get your facts right before you start a campaign. By all means go vegetarian, but for God's sake, don't try and press vegetarianism onto the rest of us, too.
I think you might be a bit confused. As you note in your comment, raising animals for food is ecologically disastrous, since the methane animals release leads the animal agriculture industry to be the #1 cause of global warming.
Furthermore, imagine just how many resources are squandered by fattening up animals, shipping them to the slaughterhouse, powering refrigerated trucks to keep their carcasses from decomposing, and so on. It's a vastly ineffecient system, and we'd be better off eating more sustainable, vegetarian options.
my label will say- You know your killing animals, but did you know you were killing the planet?
I like it, but i like yours better. :)

Kewl campaign!
My label is going to say "If you eat this then you don't care about animals, yourself or the environment."

I don't think you can have a label that long.
I tried a longer one, but it wouldn't allow me to -- So I made it nice & simple: "Green = Vegetarian"

Awesome campaign!
Whenever someone asks why I'm a vegetarian, one of the reasons I tell them is for the environment!
(now I have a link to give them! woo!)
Warning: This ends up on your planet, not just your thighs!

nice new campaign.
i think mine will be something along the lines of
KILL THE ANIMALS,
KILL THE PLANET.
