Default Who does the greater good, a cyclist or a vegetarian?

Now this is getting serious. No more monkeys playing with bananas. ALL
WE DEMAND IS F*** SPACE!" Those who are doing a moral act by going
vegetarian and riding a bike should be respected and admired because
they are only ones doing something for the planet. I heard
vegetarianism saves more than riding a bike, but I question that. I
heard from a couple who went off the grid in NYC for a year and made a
book about it. I just want to hear proof of it.

So our mascot is the monkey with the banana?
