This is preaching to the choir, but two of the United States' most well-known environmental organizations - the Sierra Club (founded 1892) and Greenpeace (founded 1971) - have officially made meat-reduction part of their food policy.
Sierra Club's statement on meat-reduction: Food and Our Climate
Sierra Club's Agriculture and Food Policy statement, full text: Agriculture and Food
Greenpeace's statement on meat-reduction: Greenpeace calls for decrease in meat and dairy production and consumption for a healthier planet - Greenpeace International
Within the Sierra Club, there is considerable heated disagreement about meat consumption. The Sierra Club's official food policy is that "personal dietary choices that minimize or eliminate meat and animal products should be encouraged, due to their many benefits, including reducing greenhouse gas impacts, water pollution and inhumane treatment of animals", but certain Sierra Club articles show a stubborn resistance.
